Well, for me Vim bindings are something that (after some learning) started to make a lot of sense. Emacs (after the same amount of learning) didn’t make that much sense… As text editors, modern IDEs are still weaker than any of them; the choice what to forfeit usually has to be done—sometimes you can embed your editor inside IDE instead of the native one, though.
For satisfying your curiousity, I guess you could try out free-of-charge Allegro Common Lisp version. It is personal no-deployment no-commercial-use no-commercial-research no-university-research no-government researh edition. I never looked at it because I am OK with Vim and I don’t want to have something dependent on ACL that I cannot use in my day-job projects. Neither is a good reason for you not to try it...
