I don't think your comparisons are constructive.
I learned vim first and later switched to Emacs because it allows me to integrate all tasks in the same work environment. The defaults are admittedly terrible and it's certainly far from perfect. But I don't see any alternative that works better for the things that I use Emacs for. I am looking forward to eventually be using Guile instead of Elisp, though.
Curious that you mention the UI as a negative(?) --- the Emacs UI is pretty good actually and it's very extensible.
