This is like buying a different car because the seat didn't come adjusted the way you like. Spending time to configure your tools is a worthwhile investment. I've spent maybe a few hours total configuring VIM and rarely need to tweak the configuration.

But the bigger time investment is learning how to use your tools. Crack open a man page rather than reach for an alternative. If you find yourself spending too much time configuring your editor, it might be time to step back and question if you're using it correctly.
