I spent two weeks around last christmas seriously trying out and configuring Emacs as a Vim user, from the ground up. It took me those full two weeks to actually get to where I wanted. So it is possible to get Emacs to (mostly) behave like Vim, but it includes installing a couple plugins, spending time to set many additional keyboard shortcuts(especially when you have an extensive .vimrc already) and also completely ripping out and replacing Emacs' automatic indentation functionality because I find its behaviour actively counterproductive. My two cents are that if you're really comfortable with Vim's or Emacs' approach you may not like the other one, simply because their main difference is that approach to doing the exact same things. And the improvements will certainly not be proportional to the time invested.
