You could either start with the included tutorial or just find a cheat sheet online and look for the shortcuts to commands when you need to use those commands.

It's supposed to be like a cursive e as in Emacs

>Where do I start?
Start by going back to vim.
Emacs is way too bloated

>but I can configure Emacs to do anything I want
for anything you might want to do there's a tool that does it better than integrating it in emacs.

I'm considering using vim instead of my regular IDE because having both hands on the keyboard at all times is the only way I can keep from masturbating

>not bloated
have you ever actually seen the size of the vim help file? It's currently over 3200 pages with about 300+ pages added for every minor release because of new features. At least all of the bloat is related to editing unlike in Emacs.

Just learn the basic yank, kill, mark, pop to mark. Then I would learn about the different buffers, opening a emacs cmd line, and having different files open in the other buffers. Then learn about the minibuffer and all that it can do for you.

If you don't fall in love after that, it's fine just go back to vim/vi or whatever. I don't know why people insist that certain text editors are more impressive than others. If you find the software getting in your way after you have given it a fair shake there is no shame in moving on.

I was also a vim user at one point, but have since made the switch to emacs solely for org-mode.

If you want to go full switch, learn the default emacs keybinds. If you miss vim, get evil (and possibly also evil-leader) . It's absolutely great and implements most (if not all) of the default vim keybinds in emacs.

Also look into the huge amount of plugins in MELPA.
