If you don't see that as a fun past-time activity and still want to use emacs, then I would recommend spacemacs.

As a guy that has used both spacemacs and doom emacs (which I would recommend over spacemacs), I disagree - you still will be mucking around with things. Emacs out-of-the-box 2022 leaves a lot to be desired, configurations makes it easier, but it is still not the vscode experience, even though it helps you a LOT on the way.
