Former Emacs user here. I've been doing the same: stick with the defaults as much as possible and adapt. This brought nice additions to my workflow, like multi-cursor editing, which I didn't use in Emacs because doing regexes was my way of solving these problems.

PS: I'm pretty sure that Emacs must have a multi-cursor mode somewhere :)

Emacs doesn't just have multi-cursor, it provides multiple ways to do that, there's iEdit, there's also ahs-edit-mode.
