Vim doesn't run in Emacs' terminal because it doesn't have
ncurses support. It is possible to start Vim inside Vim's
terminal buffer, but it's often not usable, as the outer Vim
tends to catch all the input. I usually tend to remember that
after I ran `git commit`...

vim is definitely runnable in emacs's vterm, which is more similar to the terminal in Vim than any of emacs's shell, eshell, or eterm modes.
As an evil user, I tended to remember this after I ran `git commit` and then try to remember how to pause evil so I could address vim. (I now use `with-editor` to set $EDITOR back to the parent emacs, and have mostly switched to magit)
