learn emacs. Yeah, I know what that sounds like. You don't have to also use it forever, just for, say, 6 months. Then you use both at the same time. You're brain will have rewired a pretty sturdy understanding of different ways to edit and you'll be able to switch painlessly between emacs, vim and non-editors (like the HN textbox).

Well anyway, it worked for me. I have no trouble switching between the 3 editing modes while I program, edit configs and write email (thunderbird for now).
