When I first started using code editors I chose Emacs but was often worried I made the wrong choice and should have used vim. Until one day I realized that what makes vim great is the keybindings, not the software. Take away the modal editing and all you are left with is another crappy terminal editor. Once I had that epiphany I switched to evil mode and never looked back.
