The biggest game-changer for me in converting/sticking with emacs was finding out I can edit remote files with my local emacs via TRAMP (https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode). No more logging into remote machines and installing a sub-standard subset of my highly customized editor configuration.

And before you say it, yes I know you can edit remote files with vim too. But with emacs/TRAMP it's dead simple.
