On Emacs, I've been a long time vimer and one day I decided to try Emacs to see the world from a "higher order". First thing that I found superior to vim is that the level of extensions are beyond what vim mods could do. Being benefit from elisp, emacs can do pretty much anything your OS(unix) does, with the emacs interface on top of it. That means, you can use emacs stuff all over your "buffers"(working windows). And if you are a coder, you will be amazed by: 1. being able to code, while talk about your code on irc/freenode seamlessly; 2. being able to code, while open a api website, and move code examples between them. And things do not break easily like vim does, yet everything are an order more finished and intelligent than the vim counter parts.

Saying all these, the reason I am still using vim is that my CTS prevents me from using emacs all the time, and most of the advantage Emacs brings can be achieved by a good tiled windows manager such as xmonad.
