I'm a college student and I use Doom Emacs for about 4 years (before that I was learning to program and used Python IDLE, Kate etc.)
On top of Doom Emacs, I have enabled CUA Mode and my own configuration is less than 10 lines, and it is copy-paste from Internet to enable word-wrap, delete to trash etc.
The only shortcuts I use are:
C-x C-f - open file
C-c C-s - save file
C-c, C-x, C-v - copy, cut, paste
C-z - undo
C-s - search
C-x 1, C-x 2, C-x 3, C-x k - split and killing of buffers
For the remaining I use F10 to bring up the menu and do via it or use M-x and try to find the matching function by "guess n type".
I tried learning a few commands but forgot them after a while.
With these commands and help of Doom Emacs, Emacs has been pleasant to me. I have LSP setup for C, Python, Rust, JS which provides me IDE like features. I have no complaints with Emacs. There has been no learning curve for me because I never tried learning it. The above mentioned commands too I learned by periodic usage.
Thanks to every Emacs user for sharing their knowledge on Internet, had it not been you people, Emacs would have been unreachable to beginners like me. :)
