Uh oh…Someone wants to start a fight! Using Spacemacs, you have a decent Vim in Emacs. My favorite is NeoVim with the Lunarvim configuration and install the Mind extension. But, I do drop down to Emacs with Spacemacs every now and then. So, I guess I enjoy the best of both worlds. For graphical editor, I use OniVim 2. It’s really nice.

BTW: I started using Emacs first in 1983 on my colleges mainframe after they got rid of the card reader. So, I’ve used Emacs longer than Vim.

Wow , interesting
I also use both but my preference drops down to emacs because it supports more customization in the editor environment .
