> Vim gives you incredible programmatic control over the state of the editor.
Emacs gives you control over any text in its computational vicinity - anything on your screen, local and remote machines. But it is the opposite of liberation - it's the yoke you can't ever get rid of. It will outlive any software you find attachment to - browsers, messengers, text readers and editors. Anything text-related will succumb to its power.

I use neovim on NixOS and many others do too. I don't see what one has to do with the other.

I've lost all interest in editors. It doesn't matter to me anymore in which one I'm inspecting the clanker output from.
