I think that you are missing out on a whole lot more than evil-mode. Of the packages I use and love, most of these were written in the late 2000s or this decade and are still actively being changed. The consensus among those who would know seems to be that emacs development (construed broadly, to include the package ecosystem) is more active than ever.

If you wouldn't mind sharing your dot files, I'd love to take a look and see what's new.

  Prelude (https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude) has a pretty nice set of basic dotfiles. I find that Emacs with Prelude is much more fun to use than vanilla Emacs.

  I recently overhauled my Emacs config — it's on github here: https://github.com/stafu/.emacs.d https://github.com/stafu/.emacs.d I'm using a package called use-package, which gets installed via MELPA if it isn't found on first run, then goes and installs and configures a bunch of other packages which will also download if needed. You can see how this works in the init-packages file: https://github.com/stafu/.emacs.d/blob/master/init/init-packages.el https://github.com/stafu/.emacs.d/blob/master/init/init-pack... Some of my favourite packages are magit (incredible interface to git - http://magit.github.io/ http://magit.github.io/), multiple-cursors (nice demo here: http://emacsrocks.com/e13.html http://emacsrocks.com/e13.html), expand-region (another nice demo: http://emacsrocks.com/e09.html http://emacsrocks.com/e09.html), and projectile (https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile).
