I hear you, and it's not like I haven't dipped my toes in to test the waters. But after 20+ years of vim usage it's not so easy to turn on a dime. (Particularly when Vim is more than sufficient for the work I'm actually getting paid for.)
FWIW spacemacs is a pretty decent vim-alike. Not perfect, but still pretty awesome. It's tougher, though, if you've been using a lot of extensions to vanilla vim.
