I had the same issues. I really liked vim for editing scripts but wanted more functionality as I was studying datascience and needed to work on Jupyter notebooks and RMarkdown files. Luckily someone showed me spacemacs which is an emacs distribution built on emulating the vim experience but with all of the power of emacs. http://spacemacs.org/ http://spacemacs.org/ Definitely worth checking out.
