vim is a little hard to get into, but from there its benefits pay off with lots of features. On the other hand there is emacs, with an even steeper learning curve (*cough* long inconvenient button combos!), but it's considered so powerful, some say it's a separate operating system.

They say Emacs is an amazing OS, with the best calendar, to-do list, email client, etc. Just missing a good text editor.

Guess what, you can run Vim inside Emacs inside Vim inside Emacs now!

Viper for Emacs has been a thing for decades.

emacs has a steeper learning curve? You can M-x <type stuff> tab to figure out how to do stuff, which is easier than Vim for learning IMO

:help tab

It's much harder, you're right! :P
