They are probably people who tried it once and still can’t exit.

I'm simultaneously learning neovim (by embedding it in VS Code) and emacs (primarily for magit - might learn org-mode later). Not sure why, but previously I never considered the possibility of being able to use both - I thought they were mutually exclusive.

I don't have many good things to say about vim or emacs's window/frame/buffer management... too used to VS Code/Chrome style tabs. Let me see what I have open damnit.

...turns out I just need to google it. Its `set showtabline=2` for vim and `M-x tab-bar-mode` (or `M-x tab-line-mode`) for emacs. Derp.

I just use, hmmm:

  `tt` binds to `:tabnew`
  `gt` binds to `:nexttab`
  `gT` bindts to `:prevtab`
I can `vsplit` (yeah diff!) and `vsplit` again and I can do `split` and I can do hmmm, `ctrl shift hjkl` to cycle. Anything more I can't. I am bad at managing and mentally mapping buffers. Ditto for `tmux`. It's easier for me to manage multiple windows (yeah tiling manager!) than vim/tmux's buffer. Aaaand I can recycle that knowledge for any apps.

Have you tried spacemacs with vim keybindings? That may be right up your alley. Personally I still prefer VSCode + vim, but I did use spacemacs for it's org mode for a bit.
