I can so recommend this. I've switched to emacs few years ago for the same reason and spent about a year using it. Although I've switched back to vim afterwards, having spent time with emacs was fun and not a waste of time. Have a leap of faith, find the advantages of one (or the other) for yourself. If you don't like at any time for any reason just switch back: after all, it all text files you're editing.
