You are being obtuse. There really is no comparison between Vim and Emacs.
Vim is just an editor.
Emacs is an environment, a Lisp Machine. I'm running a web browser, mail client, irc client, news client, twitter client, RSS reader and aggregator, file manager, music player, ebook reader on Emacs. 24/7. At the same time. These are all applications written in Emacs Lisp. Do people use Vim in this way? No.
Look at some Symbolics Genera videos on Youtube. Emacs is the closest (but still inferior) application we have to that.
