everyone talks about spacemacs=vim. this is nice, but what turned me off of spacemacs was the layers config abstractions. It breaks the normal configuration of emacs.

Just install evil mode and a few contrib packages.. that's spacemacs lite.

Yes. However one of the most attractive features of spacemacs is... that somebody has selected the packages and installed them for you! You don't have to do anything!

.. and you're stuck forever in the spacemacs layers abstraction, per my comment above. (Try installing a package from Melpa)

It takes literally 5 minutes to add a layer that will install whatever package you want.
