I've been struggling to on-ramp and sustain using Emacs for a while now. The paradigm shift from vim for me is frustratingly vast. I know I just need to give it the same patience I gave vim many years ago :)
Was in the same boat as you a couple of years ago. Now I use both daily. eMacs for GTD and vim for coding. I don’t like using a system without both installed :)
I really wanted to like the vim-beancount plugin but it's just too buggy for me, so I've always just come crawling back to beancount-mode in emacs. It's the only thing I use emacs for and I use evil mode for vim keybindings :)
