For me, the most important feature is VIM bindings. I used to suffer from severe RSI and VIM was a big part of what helped my wrists recover.

Seriously.

I don't know how people text edit without the vim keybindings. I'll never go back!

In emacs there are a few alternative modal editing modes I've been wanting to try.

Only if I rebind keys from the very unintuitive default vim binding. It's like it's trying to twist your brain.

You an me both. I used emacs until I developed persistent tendonitis down the outside of my left hand.

Switched to vim, and the tendonitis resolved itself in about two months. That was back around 1990.
