Emacs could be much more alive if it actually had good documentation.
Leaning Vim is also painful, but compared to learning Emacs it's a breeze.
I've tried learning both. I'm currently a Neovim user, and every now and then I revisit Emacs in hope of learning how to unlock its (alleged) powers. I give up every time because it is just too frustrating to even get to the point where I can smoothly edit a .c file.
