Emacs (or VIm in my case) takes time to learn. However when you start to
understand it and know you way around it'll do things no other editor will
do for you.

If you're happy with SciTE stay with it.

Everyone has his/her/it own favorite editor. It's very individual, I'm
hooked on VIm while others won't touch it.
