I've been on vim for 8+ years. About 2 years ago I set up emacs because I wanted to start working in lisp land and use org mode. I couldn't use emacs without vim keybinds so I installed evil. I still use both editors, but I find emacs much easier to customize and the 'operating system' part of emacs makes it much easier to manage all the things I need to do. It sucks for big files, and there are some annoying quirks where repeating actions don't quite match vim's behavior, otherwise, I can hardly tell the difference, and when I do it is much easier to adjust to fit my needs. If you have your workflows set, then as with anything, there isn't much reason to switch, but emacs opens up a whole new world of possibilities in other ways.
