I also recently started using Emacs. Not much progress in learning, yet, though.
It would be nice if someone made a nice starting package that would set it up more sanely for all the IDE-oriented people (basically take what modern IDE can do out of the box and setup Emacs that way). Something similar to what Ubuntu did for Linux. I have seen lots of personal configs on Github, and read lots of Emacs Wiki on how to set this and that, but it's still quite a struggle for me. Part of the struggle is that there are too many options sometimes.
Maybe someone will have a good suggestion regarding this.
Edit: Someone mentioned Prelude, didn't know about it. That looks good, like something I wanted.
