As this is not an overnight conversion and you are quite proficent with vim already, my advice is to: - Get used to type "emacs file.txt" instead of "vim file.txt" in your console. - Have a function in emacs that opens the current file in vim for those moments where you just want your trusted environment. Writing it by yourself is a good focused learning experience. This way you'll decide (and balance) how much you want to learn every day, and little by little you'll find yourself using that function less and less.
