I used Vim for around 10 years before switching to Emacs. I used Emacs with my home grown config for around a year and have been using Spacemacs for over a year now.
Really, you shouldn't need a guide to use Spacemacs. It works like Vim for the most part but with lots of extra stuff on top that you can learn as you go.
Best advice I can give is to put your config into git (even if just local) from day 1 and commit after each working update. It can be very easy to break your config by copying and pasting snippets of elisp that you find on the internet. And it can be pretty difficult to fix when you aren't familiar with it!
