Vim. I'm a notepad++ and PHPStorm user but I've gotten curious about the potential productivity gains afforded by the vim power user functions.

I use vim and emacs both. From a power user standpoint emacs is better. From faster edits perspective vim is better. I am sure most will agree with this view.

Perhaps the best of both worlds -- spacemacs from the get-go?

Personally I don't like these Emacs distributions so I might recommend the way I did my journey: first vim for years, then emacs+evil. You'll learn the bare emacs basics on the side. Now with Vim 8 having vastly enhanced IPC capabilities, Emacs might not be at such an advantage anymore. The amount of Vim users is staggering, and they have such energy. It's a nice community overall. (Not that Emacsers would be any worse.)

Came in to say this :) If you want to maybe pair up or some sort of structured learning on it, let me know. Could be cool to have a partner or some accountability. Although might be silly to do for learning an editor , ha.
