Anyone using evil-mode in gnus?

I find the experience quite difficult under evil-mode.

The key bindings in the evil-collection for gnus aren't intuitive to
me and I'm wondering if there's a better way. For example, I usually
just use the hjkl keys to move around and prefer to use the emacs
bindings in Normal mode to do the rest (catchup, move topics, etc.).

I don't use evil in gnus, but use hydra a lot.

See my gnus guide, https://github.com/redguardtoo/mastering-emacs-in-
one-year-guide/blob/master/gnus-guide-en.org

I find the experience hard even without evil [1].  My suggestion would
be to make judicious use of the menu bar, especially with LaCarte
installed.

Very good idea!

Since `transient` is now part of Emacs 28, I might give it a spin to
see how it can help lessen the pain. :)
