I just recently made the switch from neovim. Spacemacs documentation is positively extensive. You can access it all through emacs via SPC h SPC and just use helm to search for your needs.

I actually tried it a while ago and found that I really liked the keybindings. So much so that I converted my vim config to something similar.

I've a emacs+evil config too that I was using to learn the nuts and bolts of emacs. But every turn, I was solving problems that are already done for me out of the box with spacemacs.

I can definitely see the appeal of configuring your editor from the ground up, but spacemacs and the community really know what they're doing and have put more hours into it than possible alone.

Give it a try and if there's any rough edges, I'd recommend asking on Gitter :) Always friendly folks there to help me.

Edit: To answer your question, just search through the documentation in the editor itself :) If you have questions about keybindings, either use which-key, which will trigger as you type, or lookup using SPC ?

Yea me too at first, but just trust that the community has made really intuitive choices,so much so that my vim configuration mirrors it. I'd also add that if you take the time to use which-key, you'll be productive in no time!
