Sadly the amount of resource to learn emacs is pretty sparse while it is not for vim.
Also emacs doesn't run properly on windows (at least not on an azerty keyboard)

#24What's funny is that none of these people are actually working software engineers, at least anymore. Even Linus doesn't write much code. Perhaps that's a consequence of being famous, or necessary to be famous. But it also allows the counter-argument that Emacs has been supplanted by newer editors by active practitioners.

#29How are RMS & JWZ not famous for using emacs? I was expecting more people outside of the usual computer science & industry suspects.
I agree, several of those people are famous in large part because of their contributions to Emacs.

Vim not vi. Or does anyone actually use vi?

They usually have one of the many clones of vi, installed as vi. Very few use actual vi, because for many years it was out-of-bounds because it used AT&T code from ed.
