There're lot of people who switched from Vim to Emacs+Slime for Common
Lisp programming. Even some die-hard +10years Vim-users. Some left Vim
pretty much behind, some use Emacs just for CL, and vim for sysadmin
editing tasks.

Common Lisp and Emacs share lot of culture. Learning Emacs can make you
appreciate CL more.

I'd first give it a _serious_ try before making up your opinion just
because it's a frustrating first-experience working in an editor you are
not familiar with.

In case you just not like it, you may want to have a look at
