Spacemacs was what convinced me to switch from vim to Emacs. However, I found Spacemacs to be unstable and regularly had all kinds of annoying issues. This is quite some years ago, so perhaps things have gotten better. However, having experienced Evil, Magit, general.el etc. there was no way back. For a while I used my own Emacs configuration that emulated many parts of Spacemacs, but was far more stable. However, maintaining my own configuration became a bit of a drag. Every time you need another package, you have to figure out how it works and how it can be integrated nicely with Evil/general.el, etc. So, one day I decided to try Doom and I haven't really looked back. It has many of the perks of Spacemacs (sane defaults, space-driven shortcuts), but has been very solid and stable.
