I created an account just to echo what's already been said. There's been some good reasons already given on why you should stick with it. These are mine. Don't give up on Emacs. You've spent 10 years investing in it and making it your editor, so invest a bit more and ask about those specific idiosyncrasies. Investigate those performance hiccups. Get on the mailing list. Ask (and answer!) questions on SO and emacs.SE. Thoughtfully engage with the community. There's also been some good advice on dealing with your performance hiccups. I'd like to add that you should look at what packages you're running and what you're loading from your init file. In my 30ish years of experience using Emacs (omg, yes 30 :(), negative performance has almost always been directly related to packages, and not Emacs itself. Case in point... in the early 90s I was having issues with syntax highlighting multi-megabyte (as in more than 1 and less than 10) files. Changing font locking (syntax highlighting) to use this new fangled "lazy-lock" package fixed all my issues. I don't think I've had a performance issue since. So, look at your init file. Cut some chaff out of there. Got a fancy VCS front end? Don't use it for a couple of weeks. Performance issues go away? Submit a thoughtful bug report; help yourself and others. If you do want to switch, do it. But give VIM another try, and specifically Neovim. Personally, I recently challenged myself to do a "Lua-only-no-arrow-keys Neovim" and I've been loving it. I've used vi/VIM as long as I've used Emacs, but I'm not by any stretch a "power user". So, maybe I've had a bit of a head-start being comfortable with movement and selection, etc. But everything else has made migration easy. The online resources, the inline help, the package ecosystem; all of it. Even discovering the "toy" packages has been fun. Want ducks wandering around your active buffer? Yeah, Neovim has that. "IDE" fads come and go, myself and many others on HN can probably give you quite a list, but as far as editors go Emacs and VIM/Neovim are in a class by themselves. Take advantage of what they have to offer, even if it means diving a bit deeper.
