and emacs (I use both) but not everyone is able to see how good they are, unfortunately.

  Just curious, how can you use both? Isn't muscle memory an obstacle when switching between them?

    Some People use evil, which is hands down the best vim emulation out there. I myself started with evil after a long time with vi(m) and then made the switch to a more "pure" (for the lack of a better word) Emacs experience. I am still very proficient with vim, even though Emacs has been my daily driver for 4 years.

    I also use both and I found that keybindings and interaction with text are so different that it almost does not hurt. What I found much harder is using vim-like modes in editors - they almost match the vim keybindings but not just quite, luring you into the sense of familiarity but betraying at the most critical moment. The only thing I've had to do was to map <C-x><C-s> in vim to ":w".

    Evil (Extensible VI Layer for emacs) is one way to go. I've heard it's pretty good, although I don't use it myself (native emacs). https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil

    You can use vim keybindings in emacs. Check out evil-mode.

    I mostly use emacs (having moved to it relatively recently) but fall back to vim when editing/viewing a small single file. On the odd occasion I do hit the wrong keys from misplaced muscle memory (and in vim a bunch of things could happen quickly) but usually I still have the Vim muscle memory and can manage. My main driver is emacs though.
