Final Word II is two removes from Emacs, or rather one remove and one move
closer.  The fundamental entities (buffers, windows, and so on) are pretty
similar; the standard key-binding is reasonably close, and they supply an
emacs-like set of bindings (and of course you can build your own).  

The only significant problems I have switching between the two is trying to
use unix-specific features, like asynchronous processes.
