I've been using vim/Neovim since 1999, and the amount of muscle memory that I've built up is deeply ingrained. I'm thinking that it may be time to branch out a bit and try my hand at emacs. How would you recommend dipping my toes into the emacs tackle box?

that’s what you get when a typewriter factory starts building computers. Thanks, IBM.

They actually got that right the first time. Then they listened to user feedback (but granted, everything besides capslock was an improvement on the AT keyboard). Oh and of course those keyboards are still to this day the best ever made with nobody being able to surpass IBM's engineering, but that's another story.
