I used vim for over 12 years before switching to emacs. The thing that made me switch was looking at some insane vim-script to indent Python (or something like that - I don't rememember). I love emacs now. Yeah it takes ages to learn, moving around isn't quite as quick as hjkl in vi, emacs lisp isn't perfect, but it really is worth it. Nothing is as powerful. 23 even lets you connect to a running process from a tty and GUI simultaneously. And yeah - org-mode is great. As is the gdb integration.
