You don't "exit" Vim, tis not a stage - you quit it. And then go to Emacs because tis a killer, a vocation from which there's no quitting - it is for life.
For non-emacs nerds who didn't get the joke - command for exiting Emacs is 'M-x kill-emacs', also, you don't "delete-word" in Emacs, command for it is 'kill-word', there's also 'kill-paragraph' and so on.
