Brent:
I cannot say how easy it is to jump from your current editor to vi or emacs or
anything else because I've never used the editor you're using. I found vi/vim
much easier than emacs but that's just for me and my desire to keep my fingers
on the "home row".
I'd really suggest you read an introductory tutorial for each and spend about a
week with each one. Then you can judge the transitions for yourself and make a
semi-educated guess based on YOUR preferences.
Good luck!
Eric
