Doom is not really better than spacemacs. It's just the same pain in a different flavor. Sure, in the micro-cosm of emacs it's pretty good, but in the macro-cosm it's still a pain and can't lift the limitations and problems of emacs.
sincerely curious, what are the limitations and problems of emacs? I use both vs code and emacs. I've been using vs code a bit more these days because I feel like the UI itself is a bit more powerful and modern. I've also come to like that If i want a language support it often installs all the things I'd want to make a good experience, and I have less to mix and match. I like the mix and match approach I've always used in emacs, but it turns out there fewer scenario where I want that power then I'd have thought, and more where I just want some out of the box functionality from an extension author
