Try something like spacemacs[1] maybe and use it only for one specific task like org-mode[2]. That way, vim is still your daily driver, but you get to play with lisp/emacs on something very cool like org-mode!

Then, you can slowly try to switch one thing at a time, for example start editing all Dockerfiles in spacemacs, or maybe do that one hello-world project/app in clojure/phoenix using spacemacs. See how you like it, tweak it a bit.

Finally, decide on using it as a daily driver for a new project and stick with it. It will grow on you.

Oh, that's a good idea:) And org-mode is compelling enough to entice me in... Thanks, I think I'll try that:)


I got into emacs because of org-mode. Transitioned from vim to spacemacs with evil-mode. Can recommend. :)
