I personally think using either one of them can improve your life a lot, and I'd recommend people learn either one. I started with vim and recently got into emacs, but heavy customization from spacemacs and evil-mode are what make it fairly painless. Vim's claim to fame is largely in the keybinds while emacs does stuff like document everything and give you a nice platform to build on top of. I'm glad I learned about modal editing, but also very glad I learned about stuff like helm and org-mode.

I've got finger injuries and lived with pain for two years and I still blame Emacs layout for it. Never going back to it again.
I use Vim keybindings pretty much everywhere now. even in my browser.
Emac is like smoking. It is definitely bad for your fingers, but many escape it for many factors (genetic, habits, lifestyle etc).
You shouldn’t blame the editor when it’s a layout problem. That’s what Evil mode is for. If you like Vim bindings, you’ll find the better Emacs ecosystem refreshing with better bindings.
