IMO vim is better paired with tmux and the command line git, whereas with emacs it’s more common to open terminal buffers and use magit. Vim is more of a beefy editor while emacs is more of an environment. This is reflected in the way that both programs have designed their key binds and modalities. Emacs is much more amendable to many major modes whereas with vim, despite being a modal editor, things get crowded really fast.
