Cool post! I really don't want to know how much time I've spent configuring Emacs over the last 12 years :P The explosion of great Emacs Lisp packages over the last few years has absolutely made it difficult to avoid forever playing around with Emacs.

Have you tried any of the distributions? I have had sort of a semi-annual ritual of re-evaluating my emacs configuration. This last December I've tried Centaur out and while it's not perfect, it's not too bad. Definitely an interesting place to start from.

I’ve never used one. I’ve declared init.el bankruptcy a few times in those 12 years but I always build from vanilla Emacs- lots of use-package use though.
