Played Nethack for many years but switched to Crawl eventually. Lately I've been playing Brogue too. Never ascended in any of them but that doesn't keep me from enjoying them.
Must have: HJKL navigation (including diagonal). Big plus: terminal mode. Not a fan of tiles but I've grown to like Brogue's hybrid approach. I think I am ok with it because it's done so tastefully.
I've gotten spoiled by auto-explore and other travel aids in Crawl and Brogue, hard to go back to Nethack now. I am sure there are some variants that have it, I will look around at some point.
For a while I played Nethack using an Emacs interface, that was pretty neat but it hasn't kept up with later versions.
A few communities I am finding on https://browse.feddit.de/:

Looks neat, gonna give it a shot!
Ohh I've heard of it! I think Roguelite Deckbuilders are one of my favorite forks to the roguelike genre. They consume more of my time and money than I'd like to admit to...
Oooh, cool, i try to keep the price low so i don't empty anyones wallet in this trying times.
You know, I never got into nethack. I can appreciate it's complexity but it seems just a little too much for me. I've played well over my fair share of crawl though. I don't mind tiles so much when done well but ascii is just as good.
I must admit I'm spoiled not only to auto explore but also to the numpad... dcss always hit that perfect balance of an auto that was fluid and purposeful without diving you into weird situations and feeling inadequate (looking at you Qud, I love your game but your autoexplore is garbage).
I guess I may have to check out nethack again though. Thanks for the suggestion!
Eyy!! Just saw the edit! No idea why those didn't show up when I looked! Thanks you very kindly!
quick Q since I keep reading about it, are Crawl and DCSS the same thing?
They are.
Well, to be pedantic, strictly-speaking Crawl was the original game, and Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup the continuation. But unless one is very specifically referring to the early versions of the game, yeah, they're basically synonyms.
