Relatively little really. Probably the biggest individual customisation I have made is using Poet Theme (and its recommendations) to provide a good-looking GUI setup: https://github.com/kunalb/poet I also have a basic (text only) init.el for when solely working in a Terminal environment. My advice would be to perhaps start with just what is recommended to use Poet theme and then add what you need when you need it.

Nice ! Always great to be hearing about emacs and org-mode ! For those that write (or interested in writing) quite a bit of prose in orgmode / markdown, this emacs theme I just discovered today is mindblowing: https://github.com/kunalb/poet Finally, don't forget about Flyspell for spell checking but also WriteGood mode which allows you to list weasel words or repetitions and have them underlined by emacs amongst other things.
