I've done the same thing with my emacs config, though it's much messier and notably not readable at all.. yet.

Have you heard of req-package ? a wrapper around use-package that gives helps organizing requirements, configuration and initialization of any given package.

see one instance https://github.com/rejeep/emacs/blob/master/init.el

I've never even used use-package..

Is this just to eliminate dependency ordering? With things like package-initialize, most every package in my system is autoloaded before any of my init.el really runs.

It's a nice visual structure to look at, though, that's for sure.

As an example here's my package init using use-package: https://github.com/stafu/.emacs.d/blob/master/init/init-pack...
