A question for the heavy Emacs users:
What's your take on opinionated distros like Doom Emacs or Spacemacs?
I've been doing my daily journaling and task management on Emacs for while now, using Doom Emacs. Rationale was that it'd be mostly pre-configured to a sane standard and that, for actual text editing, I'm a long time vim enjoyer, so evil mode is great there.
However I always feel that when I go beyond the safe borders of the preconfigured, leader-key-accessible realm, I'm quite lost. I don't have good intuitions on how to interact with more raw parts of the system.
And I do want to venture further, so I'm feeling I need to get re-started with one of the recommended tutorials/books.
Should I start fresh Emacs install instead?
PS: I've coded in a bunch of lisps in the past and I have already done a bit of customization on top of Doom, so I sort of know my way around, but I'm just not comfortable I guess.
