I cherry-picked it and played with it.
There is a major problem with this approach: all `after-init-hooks` will
be triggered right away because the hook is run before the end of the
alternate init
file ([source](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gnu.emacs.help/IrMz48PQykk))
. It leads to numerous errors, I fixed the spacemacs ones but obviously
I cannot fix the errors from packages. The remaining errors don't
prevent spacemacs from working but they give a very bad impression on
spacemacs quality with errors logs in `*Messages*`.
For those reasons I revert back this change as well as the documentation
I added.

The powerline color issue is due to the fact that Emacs 24.4 now
defaults to using sRGB colorspace on OS X 10.7 and higher, not some
"brokeness" with brew's `emacs` build as the previous verbiage seemed to
imply; the powerline codebase is still assuming `(setq
ns-use-srgb-colorspace nil)` is the default.
This PR adds more information about this so that users may
decide whether they want to just set it back to nil, switch to
emacs-mac (which has it set to nil anyway), or disable powershell
separators. (Turning off srgb colorspace results in washed-out theme
colors).

Side rant:
I don't agree that the recommended fix for this would be to use
`emacs-mac-port` as that basically just gives better trackpad support.
IMHO trackpad support does not outweigh the frustrations over default
meta/super key bindings, no `server-start` support, or the use of the
antiquated carbon api, but I left the recommendation as-is in this PR.
Streamline descriptions and remove some lists of specific features. Also
reorder headings to focus on features with lists and pretty pictures to
make things more attractive.
I felt that drawing attention to specific Emacs packages in the readme
would be meaningless to people coming from Vim. They're covered in the
main documentation file anyway.
Properly define what a configuration layer is, and describe the main
roles of the ~/.spacemacs file.
Provide a brief overview on how to load config layers, since this is the
something users will probably want to do immediately.
