To all evil-mode users, how do you work with vterm?

As a long time Vimmer, I have recently started using Emacs out of sheer curiosity. I chose Doom Emacs as it has evil-mode enabled by default, and do not want to dive down the rabbit hole of configuring the editor from scratch (at least, not yet!).

After installing and enabling libvterm in Emacs, I am having a frustrating experience. I configured ZSH shell to use vi-mode keybindings which interferes with evil-mode whenever I press Esc or C-[.

After having searched a little, I came across a workaround to disable evil-mode when in vterm. But it is still not a smooth experience. For instance, when switching between buffers (C-w C-w).

I would like to know how others in the community tackled this problem. Is there a better solution to this problem? Or have you made peace with the aforementioned workaround? Or have you stopped using vterm entirely?

I'm trying to get out of my Python/Javascript comfort zone and start contributing to other Fediverse projects that are built in other languages. If you are already using Emacs for your dev work in any of the above languages, can you share perhaps your configuration or at least recommended packages for beginners, which prioritize sensible defaults and can be used with minimal amount of fussing?

Theme in picture is ef-summer. I love these so much. They're a breath of fresh air among the other techy-cyber-hacker themes, yknow?

The other ones seem less active than this one.

It's gotten too much. I think 1100 is a bit too much custom ELisp code. I also got to a point where my customization started interfering with Doom's core modules, yielded weird errors from time to time. I found out that Doom's defaults are actually beautiful and idk guys I feel refreshed, I'm ready now to get shit done, I can now actually work™️. I have offloaded the annoyances to Henrik.
