The sections that decide whether someone uses your project are the first three. What it is in one sentence, how to install it, and a usage example that runs. Everything below that is reference material for people who have already decided. A README that opens with a philosophy section loses readers who needed the install command.
Badges are best used sparingly. Build status, license, and version communicate something actionable. A wall of twelve badges pushes the actual content below the fold and signals nothing beyond enthusiasm.
