I personally use Vim but I like Emacs as well. They are both great. But they are getting old and it shows. Compare them to the super nice text rendering of ST3. I understand one cannot use ST3 from the terminal but that's fine. I can continue to use vim in that case. But 99% of my time is spent in graphical environment and I want a modern editor with nice font rendering and all. But still, IMHO Vim and Emacs are better text editors than ST3. Why can't we have best of both worlds? Implement core vim functionality as a backend service and provide a modern frontend with nice rendering (by using Skia for example). Same goes for Emacs. It's time to move on but keep the best of Vim and Emacs.
