I used vim for 10 years (not really an advanced user, but comfortable with it), and I just learned Emacs for the last 6 months... I am now completely confused by the Emacs vs Vim religious war. The two programs excel at completely different layers of productivity. I can't think of any software that radically approaches improving your workflow like either vim or Emacs, and they are both wholly unique. I also use evil mode in Emacs and while it feels like a great match, it has some impedance mismatch in some emacs packages. It really makes me wonder if there is a deeper layer of integration that can be done here to really allow people to take the reigns off their interaction with computers. |

i think at least half of those who keep up with the emacs vs vim war are doing it just to confuse newbies. the other half really just prefers the emacs way or the vi way.
either way though you are right. they are both very distinct, and it's not one being absolutely better than the other.
