I also backed out of emacs when I learned I had to use control keys.
Then a few years later I was doing heavy switching between VMS and
UNIX all day long - sometimes in editors on each system at the same
time.  EDT and vi don't understand each other's commands!  I was
going crazy, and my productivity went downhill.

I now use VMS and UNIX systems, along with Amiga, DG's AOS, Symbolics,
Apollo and more -- but just have to deal with one text editor.  Emacs.

Multiple windows, buffers and command customization are a plus too.
And you know what?  I have my cursor keys bound to do what you'd
expect - and never use the cursor keys.  They're too far away!  The
control key is right here.
