I've liked Emacs, but the left-handedness of the key-chords tore me up all the way to the shoulder after any substantial amount of use.

Spacemacs was my answer.

No, I never did that with stock Emacs.

The 'space' in Spacemacs is how all of the menu options trigger, and I find it a pleasant approach.

doomemacs is similar and tends to be lighter and works well native jit compiling all the add ons.
