What's so hard about adding 5 lines to a config file? You're adding 100s of customizations that slow down emacs when you probably use a handful of them at most.

Sometimes packages don’t come with sane defaults. Or something conflicts somewhere. Im tempted to plunder doom config, but I suspect it’s not straight forward.
It's not bad actually, I have plundered a number of things from Doom

Doom Emacs' config loads faster than my hand-rolled one did.
So in that sense, with Doom I get a smaller config to maintain, for something that loads faster, while still having a rich/coherent set of features for the stuff I do bump into.

Having browsed the Doom config sources the other day, they put a lot of effort to minimize startup time; there are various trick there that tune Emacs itself to start faster, and can be copied over to one's own vanilla config :).
