Another thing that Emacs and Vim have in common is Vim keybindings.[1] You can pick Emacs keybindings up at your own pace. From one vimmer to another, if you want to try out Emacs, I highly recommend doing it with Evil.

I second that recommendation.

If you have many years of experience with vim, evil-mode allows you to keep a lot of that and add good stuff from emacs.
