I've been thinking about trying this out for a while now. I just haven't mustered the courage to make the jump. It would be great if there was a tutorial focused specifically on helping vim users who know basically nothing about emacs make the jump.
With that said, is it really worth it if I already use vim along with tmux? This is probably what has kept me from trying out emacs before. Vim isn't an IDE, but with appropriate use of tmux it feels like it can be one.
It's hard to say whether it is worth it. Is there anything you're missing from Vim + Tmux?
The best thing would be to just check it out if you're ever in a playful mood but the chance is pretty big that just playing around with Emacs for an hour will not be enough to convince you to switch.
Feel free to mail me about Emacs so I can help you as Vim user on the way and if you keep notes you can write that "Emacs for Vim users" guide that you asked for.
