These kind of awesome and strange project always confuses me: as a vim person, I deeply doubt if this Emacs is the text editor I heard before.
Emacs is not a text editor. Emacs is a portable programming platform and text editing is just the default application implemented on it.

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 has the best implementation of vim.

Sounds like overkill to me.
Edit: gigabytes of ram.
In the late 90ies, the joke was always that Emacs is short for Eight MBs And Constantly Swapping.
Or the world’s most advanced single-threaded OS.

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.
