'spacemacs" is just a pre-configured version of emacs. I personally don't like spacemacs, but I have 'stolen' some of their configuration for my own setup.
I find these pre-configured versions of emacs (spacemacs, prelude, better-defaults, Purcell's emacs.d, emagicians, etc) to be good references and a place for getting ideas, but just using them has a significant downside - you end up running an emacs configuration you don't really understand and are then at the mercy of others when it comes to problem diagnosis.
