Indeed. I myself am on Doom Emacs but I've increasingly been thinking of moving over to vanilla Emacs. I'm a bit worried about the transition period due to all the keybind differences but I'm sure it's not too bad.

Tell your agent what parts of Doom Emacs you actually use, and ask it to build a minimal init.el containing only those parts. You're probably only using ~2% of Doom, so the resulting init.el will likely only be a few hundred lines, and most of those lines will be comments and key bindings.

It won't be a perfect transition, but it will make it a lot smoother.

I'm also a Doom user, albeit a new one. What is making you consider the switch?

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving Doom and have used it full time for a few years now. But over time I've started being uncomfortable with the fact that I don't fully understand the editor, don't fully appreciate the difference between what comes in as part of vanilla Emacs and as a Doom feature, and I feel like I am depending on a huge bunch of code and configuration I might not really even need.

Selfishly I wasn't willing to spend the time to master Emacs proper back then, but with the LLM craze now I find it much easier to hack on my configs.
