start with doom emacs, it sets everything up out of the box for you such that all the normal vim shit works with the plugins that make emacs worthwhile. at this point, I more run emacs as a kind of meta-program that integrates a bunch of stuff, including a vim-like text editor. being able to run a shell that autocompletes with a little dropdown as I type, syntax highlights when I cat, and opens files in a buffer that I can pipe in and out of, with a vim editing experience for all of it is just joyous.
