Emacs vs Vim

Which is better?

Personally I use Emacs just because modal editing seemed too strange to me.  Typing 'i' every time I wanted to type something was annoying, so I just learned Emacs instead.

Please be civil in this discussion about programming.  If you wish to troll and be rude, try one of the image boards.

I use vim invoked as vi because I'm used to it I forced myself to it after finding nano idiotic. :wq is like a reflex for me; d% and V[movement]d save shitloads of time and energy. The command line is simple, I can edit huge chunks of text with a minimal number of keystrokes and opening a file for editing takes 3 less keystrokes than it would with Emacs.
I never bothered with Emacs, apart from that time I wanted to play a few text-based games, which I then didn't do after seeing the size of the download I had to do. Should I bother, or may I continue wiling on the help system to learn the 95% of the commands beyond :tabe file that I know so far?
