Twice I've tried to learn Emacs. It just doesn't fit how my brain works, and so I don't use it.
Emacs (or vim) is not significantly better than vim (or Emacs). Both have many options to add to them that allow them to do amazing things. I have no doubt that anything you can get done in Emacs you can also get done in Vim, just not standard.
Try Emacs. See if it fits better. It's a no-lose situation.
