They suck.

vim is defined by modes. that is, you have a "navigate" mode, an insert mode, a select mode...within each mode, the hotkeys are very simple

emacs is defined by chords. you have access to all hotkeys at all times, but they require multi-key inputs with ctrl, alt etc.

emacs is more extensible but also more bloated

Just use emacs OP, it's better.

i like vim better because it doesn't kill my hands and is readily available on pretty much every distro

emacs is what the hipsters of the 90s used 2bh

Use Spacemacs and stfu.

They are both good. Learn one of them and you probably won't go wrong.

cons:
>hard to learn
pros:

An OS is never bloated, a text editor can be bloated, but not an OS.

Use emacs, install evil, and you have everything both emacs and vim have to offer.
