I'm not a 10+ year user of emacs, and have switched from vim to emacs. But here is my 2 cents if you're willing to take it.

Vim (and variants) is a language for editing first, and an editor second. Most of vim parts from a text editor perspective is found in some way or others in other editors. It's biggest pro is being centered about the vim language of editing. Once you master that, editing is very fast and you can extend the language easily by using external tools. And there's already a good number of integrations through builtin mechanisms and various plugins.

Emacs is a collections of tools for working with textual interfaces. Where Emacs easily wins is how easy it it is to integrate with anything that plays with text, (which is basically everything). The good part is that every plugin (even builtin one) is a software, a library, and a playground at the same time.
