Let me know how it went! I sound like an evangelist and some fresh eyes and opinion could give my statements some nuance.

I'm a hardcore believer in the Church of Emacs, and yet I strongly second your message. What you're saying is not evangelism; it's common sense.

Still need to take Emacs for a good spin before I pick my religion. Is there a vimtutor for Emacs?

The built-in tutorial in Emacs can be opened by pressing CTRL+h, and then t ("C-h t" in Emacs notation), or by pressing Alt+x writing help-with-tutorial <ret> ("M-x help-with-tutorial" in Emacs notation).

Beyond this, see also the tour over the basics here: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/.
