Do I really need to use SLIME for Lisp programming? (alien.top)

I have been wanting to program in lisp for a good while, but I do not enjoy using Emacs, and Slimv and Vlime haven't functioned. So, would having Vim in one terminal editing a file and then a REPL in another work?

Yes, you do need it. And btw the most prominent problem with emacs is its default keybindings. These are not suited for modern keyboards. The first thing you should do when you start customizing emacs is to rebind the keys. After that, everything would be way easier. There are a lot of key binding packages out there, just look for something that suits your needs or your habits.
