Yes.

Spacemacs is awesome. It was what allowed me to switch 100% to using Emacs.

The amount of time necessary to devote to being proficient in Emacs is significant. When you have to figure out how to re-wire Emacs and all the various extensions you want to use to use Evil (with consistent bindings) is even more.

Spacemacs allowed me to benefit from the work that others have done in these regards significantly.

However I recently switch over to Doom-Emacs. Which is very much like Spacemacs, but faster and easier to customize.

I strongly recommend that people trying out Emacs that do NOT want to give up Vi/Vim/NeoVim bindings to check out Doom-Emacs. It is the shit. It is very very good. Not nearly as quick as NeoVim, but it's worlds better then it used to be. And pretty attractive as far as text-oriented applications go.

Native Comp + Doom-Emacs + Native Wayland GTK + Nerd Fonts = Best damn operating system ever invented. So far. And it comes with a really good editor, too.

evil-collection actually makes this quite easy now. So if you want to roll your own Emacs config from scratch with vim keybindings, it's about as easy doing it with Emacs keybindings. It wasn't a thing when Spacemacs or Doom got started, though.
