Get yourself a copy of „Mastering Emacs“ and jump straight in. Learning by doing. Turns out you don’t actually need to install a lot of packages these days to get started. Use js2-mode and/or web-mode (?) worked great with React projects with me together with „compile mode“ („C-c C-l“) built-in) running build and tests in package.json for you. Later you can add lsp-mode or eglot if you really need to. Once you‘re comfortable with installing packages using Emacs‘ UI try watching the „Emacs from scratch“ series on YouTube and familiarize yourself with „use-package.el“ to build a clean, version controlled custom config. If you do a lot of technical writing org-mode.el is pretty cool and also built-in. I am using it for live coding sessions.
