I think Vim bindings are dumb and get in the way. I will never understand the appeal of modal editing. Emacs was always the superior program since it was released by Richard Stallman in 1985.
Anyone that uses either is just doing so to feel superior, people sitting on 64 gig of ram, 32 core processors, 4090 gfx cards but they can't spare the system resources for a proper gui? People only like them because they're hard to use and awkward.
Emacs has a proper gui by default. You have to give it option to make it run in the terminal.
