Three years ago I realized I had hit the same point. My .emacs file was about 500 lines long and many of the options dated back to 1997 when documentation of why you’d want to do something was sparse. I rewrote it all using org-babel and use-package. It’s even longer now, but each package has documentation of why I’m using it and how. It makes life much easier.
