Question for Emacs + Evil Users.

I've been using Emacs with vanilla keybindings, and lately I've been trying modal editing packages like meep, boon, and meow. I picked them because they need less config and were built specifically for Emacs. Now I want to give Evil a try, and I have a few questions:

1. How do you set keybindings with Evil, and how do other packages work with it? I know about evil-collection.
2. How do you set up a leader key?
3. Do you use general.el?
4. Which packages complement Evil well?
5. Can you share your Evil stack, meaning all the packages you use to make Emacs feel like Vim?

I'd also love to see your .emacs.d Seeing real configs would help a lot.
