I think Spacemacs helps with getting started.

For a newcomer there is a "curse of Emacs", helm? ivy? ido? Wnat to do Python? elpy, lsp, etc

It's easy to get confused and just give up. Having a curated config like Spacemacs helps to get it working out of the box IMO.

Doom Emacs is very good in this regard too. Without Doom and its sane defaults, I certainly would have given up on emacs.
