Your snarky and condescending tone suggests that you perceive some kind of contest between Vim and Emacs for being a "superior" editor. I guess you have never discovered the fundamental truth - Emacs is not an editor, Emacs is a Lisp REPL with a built-in editor. It cannot be "better" or "worse" than Vim, in the same sense that a Swiss Army knife can't be inferior or superior to a scalpel. Vim is a brilliantly focused tool that does one thing with extraordinary precision and efficiency. Emacs is a programmable universe that, among other things, edits text. You're falling for the classic category error. Those who learn to master both are the truly disillusioned ones, maybe try to be like them, instead of chasing every opportunity to soothe your insecurities. There is a real, pragmatic world where both tools are equally used for true superior experience incomparable to any "alternatives".
