long time vim user, doomemacs was my door into emacs's world and I don't regret it, it is a wonderfull tool but compared to vim, you need a good config - it's really to barebone out of the box. Doomemacs (or similar) are doing a great job at getting you started. Orgmode was really was kept me inside of emacs.
You can treat DoomEmacs or Spacemacs similarly. They provide an opinionated and streamlined way to interacting with Emacs. Doom is closer to "vanilla" than Spacemacs but I have used Spacemacs for over 10 years now.

Definitely a YMMV kind of vibe. Ignore all the opinionated takes and find your own personal opinionated path.
