title: Differences between Emacs and Vim
body: <p>Without getting into a religious argument about why one is better than the other, what are the <strong>practical</strong> differences between Emacs and Vim? I'm looking to learn one or the other, but I realize the learning curve for each is high and I can't decide. I have never used an editor of this type (I've always used IDEs), so anything that helps a newbie is a plus.</p>

  <p>Before a flame war starts: I'm not asking which is better, I'm asking the differences between the two. I would like an <strong>objective</strong> comparison.</p>
