It’s an okay operating system, but it could use a good text editor.

I am not an emacs or vim user, but doesn't emacs support vim style editing(key bindings) or it supports just a subset of vim?

Emacs is not a text editor. Emacs is a portable programming platform and text editing is just the default application implemented on it.
