In a twist worthy of a Christmas fairytale miracle, the emacs users recognised the error of their ways, and embraced the workflow their hearts had secretly always longed for: vim. Peace returned to the kingdom, RSI was defeated, they lived happily ever after and had many children.
I don't quite see it that way. Spacemacs' motto sums it up best: "The best editor isn't Emacs or Vim, it's Emacs and Vim!" Mixing and matching the strengths of both editors results in a much better experience.
