#3I think many Vim users look at Emacs and go “Hmm, Emacs is a bit more clunky when I use Emacs to do the exact same things I do in Vim. Therefore, I’ll stick to Vim.”

#5Oh damn, I had no idea about undo-in-region. That's so convenient and it comes with Emacs stock. Wish I knew about that years ago.

As a vim user, I mostly look at this article and think, "Hmm, Emacs seems to include an artists mode for drawing ASCII images. I need a text editor. Therefore, I'll stick to vim."

I mean. Emacs has the ability to do basically what vim does. Evil mode is really nice (though I can never get used the = register evaluating elisp instead of vimscript).
What kills me about emacs is the startup time. Breaks my flow when I'm jumping around and need to edit something quickly.
Though I'll admit that doom provides a very nice environment for when I want to play around with some lisp.

"It'd take me longer to figure out how to use emacs than it would to just do what I want in vim, and I'm really just trying to get to retirement before I lose my mind."

Use emacsclient and don't close emacs server. Super fast startup (for emacs). There is a guide on emacswiki afaicr

Check out evil mode. Makes emacs behave more like vi. Game changer for me.
