I have been a vim user all my programming life which is not very long. Can you please provide me straight-to-the-point, opinionated, no words twisted, maybe personal reasoning why I should use Emacs over vim?
This is a very honest question.
EDIT: This question is more- what motivates you to be an Emacs-er? Why do you use it? I would love to hear your reasoning behind choosing and sticking with an editor.
Thanks to umanwizard for the answer. Someone else said that it is best to experience it yourself. But you have to understand that mastering a new editor is a non-trivial time commitment. I am willing to put the time and effort given it is worth it. That is what I am trying to find out.
Someone on HN said just some days ago- you cannot simply be a tourist in Emacs and hope to get everything that is good with it.

I guess I will learn both.
