I use Emacs with evil-mode (vi binings). Along with evil-mode, I have Spacemacs for a decent set of packages with some sane mnemonic key bindings for a lot of operations. I recently started using magit in Emacs as well for git commands and I’m overly satisfied with its capabilities. I chose Emacs primarily from pairing with some other developers. I was blown away by how fast they were able to do things in the environment. I really wanted to be able to move that fast without my editor getting in the way. The flexibility of customizing my environment with lisp is also an added benefit. Plus with how heavyweight other editors are in terms of memory usage, Emacs still works great on machines with less RAM.
