So any tool that is complicated enough to use that it requires more than 5 minutes to understand can't be a good tool? That is just false.
Obviously vim is not the tool for you (and emacs probably isn't either). You don't like the way they work, so don't use them. They are not bad tools. They are both very good tools. They are just not tools that fit your preferences. They do fit other people's preferences.
