That is so awesome, Scott!  Way to go!

Yes, Emacs isn't for everyone, but once you find a use for it, it's hard
to switch to anything else.  I've actually started using XEmacs for
authoring (I write in DocBook XML), and I added a handy plug-in that
adds extra menus for my DocBook tags and commands.  I've even learned
some of the keyboard shortcuts and have been using my mouse less, which
is always easier on my wrist!

Good luck!
