Give me one solid reason why I should switch to emacs from vim

Use what you are comfortable with and can be most productive in.

Nano FTW

Emacs is better at customization.

None. I use vim, but I would like to know emacs. So if I have to use it, I can.

@tpalmerstudios I did try emacs with evil mode, it took me about 3 weeks to set everything up the way I was using in vim, but it ain't that hard. Don't really know about pure emacs though!

@mannyCalavera If you are taking plugin support, Vim has waaay more plugins than emacs.

@meain the fact that Emacs is an editor written in Lisp while Vi(m) is an editor with a macro language makes it easier for Emacs adopters to develop plugins/packages/write custom commands etc. Especially now that Emacs has a package manager.

@mannyCalavera Yeah, elisp is pretty awesome! Got to agree on that.
