I was constantly tripping up when typing furiously. This alone was enough to move me back to Vim. Everything else about Emacs was awesome. I would love to go back if I could get over this one problem..

Were you using console mode emacs? I use evil+emacs and I use it in its own window instead of on the console for that very reason.

Yes, I live in the console.

You can fix that by setting this:

(setq evil-esc-delay 0)
