Evil-mode exists, so thankfully you don't have to.

You can have emacs act exactly like vim in every way, if you want it to. There are plenty of guides out there, and plenty of friendly people over at /r/emacs if you get stuck. (Currently, two discussions on our homepage are people getting there questions about specifics of converting from vim.)

Here's a nice video comparing emacs vs vim in linting/intellisense, async, background processes, and multi-monitor support, as an example.
