Can I Easily Use Lisp Without Emacs?

I'm currently reading Practical Common Lisp. The book is great and the language interesting, but I'm not enamored of learning Emacs. I've learned Vim and that's enough text-mode editors for one brain. I don't want to learn another. Double-control commands hurt my head. What's the best non-Emacs solution for programming Lisp on Windows?
