Hey there, I used to Vim too, and started using Emacs since I started doing a lot of Clojure development. Since then, I have not looked back. The power and flexibility of Emacs is second to almost none. Just the other day, I was working on a Latex file, and I had a buffer open with a pdf viewer right next to my tex file, that would update as soon as I saved changes to my tex file. And the community has done almost everything you can think of already. If not, just write it yourself! To get started, I would highly recommend using Emacs Prelude: https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude It's incredibly useful and user friendly, and makes your Emacs all the more powerful. This is a good intro article to it: http://batsov.com/prelude/ http://batsov.com/prelude/ The other blog that I find useful even as a fairly seasoned Emacs user is http://www.masteringemacs.org/ http://www.masteringemacs.org/ It has some great guides and tutorials for beginners too.
