That meme clearly comes from an emacs fanboy.

emacs

I actually don't know what emacs means. I only remember having struggles in understanding anyone who likes vim, because it mostly just confused me. But Probably its just what you are used to. The Meme is still funny, though.

vim is a little hard to get into, but from there its benefits pay off with lots of features. On the other hand there is emacs, with an even steeper learning curve (*cough* long inconvenient button combos!), but it's considered so powerful, some say it's a separate operating system.

They say Emacs is an amazing OS, with the best calendar, to-do list, email client, etc. Just missing a good text editor.

Guess what, you can run Vim inside Emacs inside Vim inside Emacs now!

Viper for Emacs has been a thing for decades.
