emacs user on mac, mainly clojure repl. no work access to (m)elpa so carefully vendoring individual packages. after curating a .emacs for 25 years or so i had a bit of a Jubilee in 2020 and started again from a blank sheet trying to lean into the batteries included, plugging gaps with code or package only where essential for workflow. my setup is extremely basic but it is mine and my workflow is clear. comfortable with my tradeoffs on the xkcd how much time will you spend to save matrix!
Your journey is similar to mine (though I did my vi/emacs back and forth in 1990). And I gotta say the experience of developing Kotlin in IntelliJ is still the peak development experience of my career. But you're not the first to recommend Doom as a way to shed my .emacs debt and get back into it. Thanks for the nudge!
