My experience with emacs started out exactly like that.  :-)  I later
tried learning emacs but got tired of having to hit Ctrl+something to do
anything.

My personal preference is VIM.  I use it for mail (mutt+vim) and
programming (mostly in perl).  FlightGear is the only large C/C++
project I'm involved with, so I've never felt like moving to a
"powerful" IDE such as emacs.  My "poor man's" IDE consists of a bunch
of rxvt terminals running vim and gdb.  :-)  Having a large monitor
helps.

If you want to try vim, there are some great scripts and tips here:

I still haven't tried this, but you can check out this script for using
vim with gdb:

Thanks
