I've never understood these editor wars. Isn't Vim simply a terminal editor, while Emacs is a GUI do-it-all?
God will curse you since you've mentioned Vim as a "simply a terminal editor".

Emacs and vim can both be used from GUI or terminal.

#25cf. emacs.sexy (a useful list of resources) with vim.sexy (a satirical page). :( Vim doesn't seem to have much luck with cute TLDs.

What an amazing comment.
It's like saying, "I hate war and I will fight you to make sure you understand my point of view".

I personally think using either one of them can improve your life a lot, and I'd recommend people learn either one. I started with vim and recently got into emacs, but heavy customization from spacemacs and evil-mode are what make it fairly painless. Vim's claim to fame is largely in the keybinds while emacs does stuff like document everything and give you a nice platform to build on top of. I'm glad I learned about modal editing, but also very glad I learned about stuff like helm and org-mode.
