I used Spacemacs for a while, but switched to a custom configuration with evil, general.el, and which-key. Spacemacs was excessively slow and I also often ran into strange bugs.

I did the exact opposite, I got tired of vanilla Emacs and managing my custom configuration. Then I found about Spacemacs and never looked back.
I didn't get any strange bugs or slowdowns, but then I am using the `develop` branch which is going to be the upcoming .3 release. I also have a few dozen layers installed.
I would miss Spacemacs' layers way too much if I reverted to vanilla. Its integration of evil-mode is also fantastic, something I don't want or need to recreate.
The upcoming .3 release will support a custom package archive. A lot of the bugginess in Spacemacs is caused by frequently pulling 100+ bleeding-edge MELPA packages.
Any news when the new release will come out? I like to keep to master, but wouldn't mind an upgrade to a stable version soon.
I've already been using .3 for a while, just switch to the `develop` branch :)
same issue here, spacemacs is a very nice package but I just have no idea how to fix it when ran into bugs, I started to build my own .emacs.d since last month.
