I've been dabbling with Spacemacs for a while now (after having looked at Vim to the point of being able to handle day-to-day editing well enough), and have to say I quite like it. The mnemonics work well enough. I have previously been using ST too, though, and so far find two of its nicer features lacking in both Vim and Spacemacs: 1) Ctrl-Shift-P. ST's menu is really nice and I always seemed to search for the right words in order to find what I was looking for. You can emulate it with plugins in Vim, and Spacemacs' ´SPC :´ comes close, but they both end up being a bit more awkward than necessary (with emacs, it's mostly due to the function naming scheme and the terminology used). 2) I found the various flavors of multi cursor support in both Vim and Spacemacs not to be equally elegant as in ST. ST allowed you to do some amazing edits with Ctrl-F and some basic Regex knowledge (using Alt-Return). On the other hand, I learned that this can mostly be mitigated by the usage of mostly simple on-the-fly macros with Vim-syntax, so it's not that much of a problem.
