Is there a way to have both standard Emacs and Doom Emacs available at the same time? Is there a way to run the standard Emacs and then make it load the Doom code? Where can we find instructions for that? Is Doom Emacs user-friendly to long-time Emacs users that would want to turn the Doom layer on for only a few minutes each week?
Cheers & thanks in advance,

That's just wrong. If you want Doom Emacs, you just have to type two
commands:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ~/.emacs.d
~/.emacs.d/bin/doom install
The first commands takes two seconds to complete, the second one about
five minutes (it downloads and compiles about 200 MB of code, fonts,
icons, ...). Then you start Emacs, and you're done. That's clearly not
"lots of hours".
