One of the easiest ways is to start using emacs for something you didn't use vim for before, like org-mode. Or just for magit, but not text editing yet. Either way, you can stay in your fast, happy path in vim as long as you like, and trickle in small edits in emacs until it becomes more comfortable.
So you can avoid the heavy slam of new-editor-awkwardness in your important work.
I do recommend spacemacs, it (looks like, I'm vanilla emacs myself out of habit) has many packages and customizations atop of a vim-ish keybinding.
- selftest 6y agoI’d recommend Doom Emacs over Spacemacs for a few reasons: Spacemacs tries to be everything-for-everyone and it is far too dense for someone trying to learn Emacs. Evil-mode is its “killer feature” but that’s available without Spacemacs. Doom Emacs is more like Vanilla Emacs with an obvious lean towards evil-mode. It comes with sensible defaults and loads up so much faster than Spacemacs does.
