Some time ago I switched from my bespoke Vim setup to Doom Emacs. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how “VS-esque” it is. As in, it’s very easy to set up it for a new language. Usually I just need to uncomment the correct line in config. And even if it’s not there, finding the correct major-mode and installing it is usually pretty straightforward.

So yeah, highly recommended! Of course, I use the evil mode for Vim keybindings.




If your goal is to avoid becoming an expert in elisp then it's certainly possible while using Doom Emacs, but you're not getting the full experience.
