There's a ton more to both editors than just keybindings.

See this post[1] where I talk about some of the things I've done with emacs -- none of which have anything to do with bindings.

You can do millions of other things too, as I'm not using emacs nearly to its full capacity. Same with vim.

Bindings in editors are like symbols in math. Yes, they're necessary, and you can do a lot with them, but symbols are not nearly all there is to math.
