Yea, vim really isn't anything near how useful emacs is.
Emacs really is powerful, all it needs now is a decent text editor.
It has one. It's called evil-mode.
emacs is solely for watching the text version of Star Wars and you know it
Not at all what I meant. It's just, out of the box, a powerful text editor that can be configured and built on if desired. If you want it to be more than a text editor, you can easily make it so.
Eh. Both are good choices. I prefer vim for my workflows - I like the terminal.
ETA: Will have to give Emacs another go though at some point.
