I used vim for about 5 years. I decided to give emacs a roll about a
year ago. The first few weeks were hard, the next few were
interesting, and the rest was just fun.
I suppose it's because I've always been a tinkerer and I love the fact
that the wall between editing with emacs and editing emacs is so
small.
Anyways, this is all old news. Everybody already knows the arguments
for both sides and they're both true. I still use vim when the job
fits (configs or quick edits) and I use largely emacs for my
development (even if though I work at a vim shop and everybody gives
me dirty looks).
