Hi! Your friendly neighborhood Doom guy again! You can resize the window in larger increments by prefixing the keybind with a number: -25 SPC w >- is equivalent to typing -SPC w >- 25 times.
More useful than that may be the -SPC w -- and -SPC w _- keys. Prefix those with a number to resize the window to an exact size (horizontally and vertically, respectively).
Alternatively, there's -SPC w o-, which zooms the current window (pushing aside all the others). Pressing it again restores them to their original sizes.
Hope that helps! (Also, -SPC w- is aliased to -C-w- -- some folks seem to prefer that prefix)

If you want my suggestion about what makes one never leave Emacs: code editing.
I code mostly in C and C++, and find the ability to make Emacs format my code very useful. After adjusting c-auto-newline, c-cleanup-list, c-hanging-braces-alist, c-hanging-colons-alist, c-hungry-delete-key, c-offsets-alist, cua-mode (because Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V should always be for copy-paste), and installing some packages for company+rtags autocompletion... and then binding some keys like F7 to recompile under cc-mode... every other text editor feels raw, clumsy.

I use DOOM emacs as my primary IDE and I could not be happier. I just love space as a leader key philosophy, and together with evil mode there isn't really any other editor or IDE could offer the same ergonomics. Also, in the insert mode I use regular emacs key bindings to move cursor back or forward with Ctrl+f and Ctrl+b without leaving the insert mode and reaching for arrow keys, which is INSANELY convenient. Doom Emacs is a closest thing to pure perfection!

It is strange that doom Emacs don't have a transient state for resizing windows. But it should not be hard to configure.
A transient state is a sub state where you can define different behavior for keys. For example you can configure 'SPC w r' to enter window resize transient state where your hjkl keys will resize windows until you press any other key to exit that transient state. That way you don't have to press 3 keys to just resize a bit.

Quite a few of these are more convoluted than vanilla Emacs. -C-x 1-, -C-x 2-, -C-x 3-, -C-x 0- does all the window splitting you'll need. Control + left click shows you a list of buffers, can also do -C-x C-b-. -C-left-, -C-right- switches between buffers. To navigate the focus through the windows, -C-Tab-.
I don't see the advantage of the weird keybiding in Doom Emacs.

Splits are windows, because they come from before you had graphical environment.
And frames are what is called windows in a graphical environment.
So Emacs Window is a split in a Emacs window.
So Emacs Frame is a Emacs window.
And it is reasonable if you remember that Emacs started where a 24x80 character terminal was all you had. :-)

This is nicely very familiar to a vim user. It's really mostly a reimplementation of vim in emacs together with emacs extensibility.
The window shortcuts are the same in vim, just with ctrl instead of space.
I do actually also have a bunch of buffer shortcuts similar to these set up due to my leader being space

As Vim user I have been enjoying these windows into Emacs, keep them coming!
Side note, did you try out Neovim? I am currently using it as my DD by aliasing vi to neovim. I personally haven't made up my mind on the politics/ideology between the two projects

Did you custom define spc-o-p to open the side pane dired? I don't have that. That jey sequence is undefined. If I hit spc-o the list pops up but there is no p in there. It's undefined.

Is there spacemacs equivalent to select windows? Instead of using SPC w w or SPC w hjkl, you cant just do ALT + 1, ALT + 2.... I am now exploring doom, planning to switch. Thanks
