I had a similar experience with Spacemacs. I currently use regular Emacs with some packages (evil-mode) and find it much easier to deal with and configure than Spacemacs. Emacs does take some additional configuration after install in order to get it how you want it, so you still might dislike it, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents

I have not tried anything else because I just use Emacs as is, I never really liked VIM till recently and even now I rarely use it unless I'm working directly on a remote system (bash scripts for legacy systems).

My biggest appeal for Emacs is TRAMPS, where I am able to edit files after setting up Emacs once.

I forgot to add this on my post which I linked to in a reply to someone else's comment but here's a list of editors and what they support for D:
