I have experienced far in the past a similar situation, I've tried both Emacs and XEmacs at that time and give up sticking to vim. After, time ago pushed by curiosity and few demos I casually see I tried Emacs again but with a far slower start, only as a side curiosity and a step at a time I grow my config keep using (n)vim until I decide it's time to jump. After that I still experience some problems but I keep evolution speed slow to avoid frustration, in few months Emacs became my environment. Maybe you have tried Emacs as an editor expecting to been able to use it quickly as other "editors" you already encounter and that cause the fail. Emacs is an OS, not an editor, an ancient one that have some idiosyncrasy because of that vestige. And we know that learning an OS is not as simple as learning a single-purpose application.
