I think this is a step in the right direction. It's definitely a better initial experience of emacs (including Doom/Space), but even after trying this out I experienced several (emacs-core) frustrations.
Just now I experienced: weird keymaps (C-? C-? to do things, including exit... do I have to Google keymaps, read docs about keymaps, remap keys to my own preferences, or just memorize existing keymaps?), signaling EOF (normally Ctrl-d) doesn't quit (gives a weird error "mark not set"), not knowing which buffer I'm looking at or how to list/switch buffers, no (initial) mouse support, no idea how to search and replace, no idea if spawning multiple cursors is possible.
All that in a span of ~5 minutes. I'm not trying to hate on emacs, just trying to list some pain points of the UX.
I'd be willing to give another emacs dotfile a shot, but I think it'd have to be even simpler than this one.
