vim is more of a text editor that emphasizes a minimum of keystrokes to do things efficiently. Emacs is a text editor that is leans more to the IDE side of the spectrum with many cool extensions that make your life easier.(I am not saying vim doesn't have extensions just that emacs seems to use them more or has more of an emphasis to them) Both are excellent text editors. one will fit your style of living. use that one.

Someone said on Stack overflow, "I use Vim for manipulating text, Emacs to do programming and Firefox to look at funny cat pictures". I agree with that assessment.
