Check out Doom Emacs, I was a long term vimmer then picked up Doom and it converted me pretty quickly over to an Emacs guy now.

Same for me. I've been using emacs now for several years after being a long time vim user. I have never missed vim after switching. Emacs is amazingly powerful. And I never got to a point where Doom felt limiting. I only ever need to make minor customization on top of Doom's packages and it's super easy and I actually like elisp _way_ better than vimscript.

Anyways I don't really care for text editor wars or whatever. I just wanted to second this person's experience with vim -> emacs via Doom Emacs.

I'm in the same boat, made the switch for the org-mode ~month ago. Doom is amazing, and most of my custom config was not necessary, the default modules are super sane.

I do miss nvim's configuration in lua though.

Doom Emacs convert of about 4 years here, and Evil mode user for about 6 and I summarize my thoughts with: vim is the best text editor, it just happens that the best implementation is inside Emacs.
