It's a bit alien at first, but I didn't need much time to do all my editing in Emacs.
I haven't learnt Emacs Lisp and I haven't adopted any large configuration package.
-[My `emacs.el` right now is 80 lines](https://github.com/alexpdp7/alexpdp7/blob/811f60a331da44c9621d771ccc34ee0c0555080e/emacs/emacs.el).
+[My `emacs.el` right now is 160 lines, a good chunk of that is obscure stuff for work](https://github.com/alexpdp7/alexpdp7/blob/4cbc783bbe406051bbcf88995316c9994518cbd9/emacs/emacs.el).
Perhaps when you read this, my current config will be much bigger..
-But I'm definitely happy today with my 80-line config.

You can start without a configuration.
Whenever you can't do something, search Internet.
Sometimes it's just easier to hit F10 and find something in the menus.
You can also M-x to execute commands, like `indent-region`.
-When you get to the point where you really need to add packages, I do recommend you use [straight.el](https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el), it makes installing packages easy.
-Maybe it has some drawbacks, but with straight.el, I've been able to create a configuration that I feel is productive.
-(Although it seems to have some issues with corporate firewalls. But I added comments about solving that.)
-
-Some of the stuff in my `emacs.el` is maybe not critical, like Helm and Projectile.
-I really like Projectile, but often I just run `emacs $file` in a new terminal tab.
-It's easy, and you don't need to learn a ton of window/buffer/etc. management.

Many other stuff is support for things I do: AsciiDoc, Vale, Rust, Python, Java, YAML, Ansible, Puppet.
You probably need other plugins, and maybe you don't need them right now.
