Yet we have entire editors that do far less that require a entire web browser and take 100+ Meg's of ram to run. Edit: gigabytes of ram.
That's overkill too.

Vim style is not Vim. Tons of editors and IDEs support Vim style key bindings. Not one of them works for me. Even evil mode, which has undeniably put the most effort into duplicating Vim features, breaks my expectations enough to be annoying and sending me back to Vim.
How? Is there something fundamentally incompatible between Emacs and Vim commands that makes emulation slightly off?
Also Emacs cannot be 100% Vim compatible because their control schemes are so different, example: The cursed Esc key which doesn't work properly even in Spacemacs. There's a huge difference between Emacs with some Vim commands and Vim with Emacs functionality.
So, I'm staying with Vim and if others prefer Emacs that's fine too.

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?
Unless you are a Vim connoisseur you will not be disappointed.
