Vim vs Emacs Debate

Vim works great. Don't see why you'd want to use anything else, except maybe Emacs.

vim - when I started using it around 2004, switching from UltraEdit and Visual Studio. Haven't stopped using it to this day.

Kind of hard without knowing what you do and what your constraints are but at least for me vim is more widely available on the tools I use. I use neovim, but I also need to use Android studio and xcode sometimes, and there is a vim mode for each of those. So basically if you get used to it, it's a standard way to interact with several editors. Also it's just more fun and fluid to use for me but that's a matter of taste.

I used vi/vim for 15 years, and still do when changing configuration locally and remotely, before learning emacs for university work. At work I use Visual Studio, and for personal scribbling I use Sublime Text. I never understood the editor wars.

I use emacs for it's UX. If you don't like it, use something else.

I've never seen the need to use anything other than vim.

I think vim/emacs is an apt comparison.

I use VSCode, IntelliJ and Notepad++ all with VIM mode. VIM isn't just the editor, it's a style of editing.Honestly if an editor doesn't have VIM mode, I don't use it.

Currently I use Sublime Text 3 with the Vintageous plugin, I'm proficient with Vim but I find myself preferring Sublime Text due to the multitude of packages available to it as well as the UI being in my opinion better and more customizable. I'm most interested in moving to Atom once it matures a bit more and the Vim style plugin also matures. That being said, I've tried using Emacs tons of times now and it just doesn't click with me. More power to you if it's your prefe

There isn't anything better than Vim or Emacs. Sorry.
