Same, but with doom instead. It has a sensible set of defaults and easy ways of installing packages. I haven't declared config bankruptcy since moving to doom.

I tried Doom but I didn’t liked the fact Vi keybindings where enabled by default and the workflow tries to mimic modern Neovim setups. As an old an old Emacs user it felt atrocious to me.

1. The initial setup lets you choose if you want vim keybindings or emacs.

2. The workflow does not mimic "modern neovim setups". It defaults to hlissner's preferred style, which predates neovim, but is extremely customisable. I mean, it's emacs, after all.

3. Hating on "neovim style" as an emacs user is something you and I better than. We are both old emacs users; we can customise emacs however we like.

4. I was an emacs user before Doom Emacs. I still found it a great as a starting point and ported over my customisations on to it. You don't have to use Doom, but you can, if you want to, and still have your emacs how you like it.
