I once made a serious attempt to switch to vim, because Emacs has a few
quirks, and I use vim keybindings in Emacs anyway.  I even wrote vim code to
add back a feature I missed.  The end result: I was back in Emacs, with a
couple of new features borrowed from vim.

I'm not sure I recommend Emacs though. There must be something more modern
to start with today.  Once you learned and configured it all to your liking,
you're sort of locked up.
