the others I cannot live without: neo tree winner mode god mode (I use instead of evil mode) avy (visually jump to any char on the screen) undo-tree (really neat, though I don't use it as much any more)

winner-mode was new to me. Thanks! The most annoying thing about Emacs for me is random windows popping up; I'm a "separate frames" person (the OS window manager does fine for me, I don't need much help from Emacs), and anything that streamlines windows is great.

I installed Doom[0] and called it a day! [0] https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs

I had a fairly large config and kept running into problems with speed. I gave up late last year and tried doom and haven't looked back. Very fast compared to what I had hobbled together.

org f-ing mode edit: actual package is called "org-mode"

A resounding YES! But Org-Mode and TRAMP are so well written about that although I have "special" setup for these in my config I felt I could not do more justice than other expert write-ups. Maybe, I should add them in a separate entry.

Helm-projectile rant is well deserved. I'm often ashamed looking at my colleagues trying to find some file with a mouse in their big fat IDEs.

Mortals. LOL!
