I've been wanting to get rid of VS ever since I started coding in C#, but I haven't yet figured out a nice way to build, test, and run my applications in Emacs. How did you handle that sort of stuff in vim?

That's the kind of things that really set IDE vs editor in terms of usability.
Mostly I think it's just about preference. I like my editor lean [insert joke about emacs being bloated here], visually non-distracting and customizable. I also try to avoid using my mouse. Emacs is all of these things for me, VS is not.
