> So... don't mode it? Stuff it offers out of the box is pretty solid these days with minimal adjustments

EXTREMELY misleading statement, unless by "minor" you mean "3 days on and off installing and uninstalling and configuring packages", so I had to call you out here.

If I just install Emacs 29 RC I get a useless toy that can't even detect it's in a project and allow me to fuzzy-search a file name inside it while respecting `.gitignore`. Not to mention do a live grep.

So until I can install Emacs and have project features and everything that modern DOOM / Spacemacs / LunarVim / VSCode offer then no, it's not "minor adjustments".

Please don't mislead future readers.

There is nothing misleading about it - this is how I’ve always ran my neovim configs and it did the job - without project management and hundreds of packages. Don’t trick future readers into thinking this kind of yak shaving is necessary and not a personal obsession.

Well at least now future readers will know you view project [file] management as yak shaving.

My work here is done. Whoever reads this will know what is there and what is not there with one setup or the other.
