Helix: Release 24.03 Highlights
Thanks for the tip, meow looks interesting. I never got comfortable in evil-mode, but perhaps meow could be a gateway to trying emacs in anger.
Still waiting for kakoune/helix mode for gnu readline...

Ask HN: Best way to experiment with text text editing?
To build on what others are saying about Emacs, if you start exploring the package ecosystem, you're going to see quite a lot of really interesting packages that are related to improving/experimenting with the UX of editing text. While I'm not endorsing anyone in particular, I think what this list does show is just how easy it is to do pretty much whatever you want in Emacs;
https://karthinks.com/software/avy-can-do-anything/
https://github.com/jyp/boon
https://github.com/clemera/objed
https://github.com/jmorag/kakoune.el
https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/
https://github.com/xahlee/xah-fly-keys
https://github.com/Kungsgeten/ryo-modal
https://github.com/emacsorphanage/god-mode
Emacs 29 also now has treesitter and LSP mode integration built-in, a compilation mode, a comint mode for REPLs, excellent file browsing packages (I use dired/dirvish), and a few other killer features.
Now, if what you truly dislike are "quirky editors", prepare yourself for a world of hurt because vanilla Emacs departs quite a bit from "modern" text editors. I struggled with this for a while, but eventually by buying into the paradigm, I now feel that when emacs try emulating "modern" IDE features like autocompletion, LSP, and DAP UI, I feel like it's a regression, not a progression. The point here is that you might have an "idea" of what good initial UX and lack of quirks would look like, but Emacs might change the way you think.

How do the neovim plugins for OrgMode and Magit compare with the real thing?
If emacs had a layer for kakoune as comprehensive as evil, I think it would be a no-brainer, but such as it is, kakoune.el is the closest we have which isn't quite was I was hoping for.
-
Best emulator for Kakoune editing?
Problem is, unlike the evil package linked above, which was last updated 6 days ago, the only package I've found for Kakoune is this one, which was last updated like a year ago.
-
First thing you configured when started using Emacs
I set up https://github.com/jmorag/kakoune.el and made some aesthetic changes, i think that EXWM came soon thereafter

Helix - A kakoune/neovim inspired text editor written in Rust
Out of curiosity, what is it that makes you want to change from Kakoune? Perhaps something like terminal emacs with kakoune.el could be of interest to you.
-
Any ideas that would help in incremental reading?
I don't fully understand what you want - but about creating cards while you read https://kakoune.org could be interesting (there's a simple elisp clone: https://github.com/jmorag/kakoune.el). That way you can move along words while reading and if you want to turn a phrase into a card you can simply hold shift to continue marking the desired words and then yank them to somewhere.
- Just a random question . Is there any emacs distribution like kakoune ?

Emacs Bedrock–A minimal Emacs starter kit
I can vouch for general.el[1]. It's easy to use and it integrates with use-package clauses, which-key and evil states. You can look at my config[2] for examples.
1. https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

Evil mode's kinda hacky
If you need more fine-grained keybindings control use https://github.com/noctuid/general.el

symbols function definition is void: map!
If you're relying heavily on Evil states and leader keys I also recommend this package: https://github.com/noctuid/general.el
-
bind.el -- A key binder with prefix, autoload, repeat-mode and save&restore support
If I have to say one or two things about them, general's readme looks a lot and may be hard to grasp for starters who just want to bind keys. I want bind to be the go to package for newcomers and unify people who are just bored of typing define-key or okay with looping since bind is close to that simplicity yet being powerful due to its design. If you are missing something, please open an issue and see if we can add it.
-
How do you call interactive commands with arguments like in vim?
For binding keys I highly recommend the package noctuid/general.el. Specifically binding to general-key-dispatch. Something like: (general-define-key :states '(normal visual) "/" (general-key-dispatch "/" 'ag-search :default 'evil-search-forward))

Anyone here uses evil-mode with Colemak-DH? How did you set up yours?
I use standard Colemak. I've added the following configuration to be able to exit insert mode by pressing l and h in sequence (that key combination is convenient to type, but still uncommon enough in most words, the main exception being localhost). (general-imap "l" (general-key-dispatch 'self-insert-command :timeout 0.25 "h" 'evil-normal-state)) The above code uses https://github.com/noctuid/general.el.

Help with setting up emacs on windows
https://github.com/noctuid/general.el Keybinding and leader-key manager for Emacs. There are other packages but this is the best one imo - it even includes vim-style map commands.

A good config with leader keys
Gonna drop a link to https://github.com/noctuid/general.el
