I spent very long trying to get a working command-line Emacs on Windows because I don't like Vim but there's more beef...

Oh. I just clicked the link. Is this how you end up in a Wikipedia spiral?
Guys, what the fuck, we'll check out the Wikipedia editors war later, catch a load of this:
[ID: The Church of Emacs, formed by Emacs and the GNU Project's creator Richard Stallman, is a parody religion. While it refers to vi as the "editor of the beast" (vi-vi-vi being 6-6-6 in Roman numerals), it does not oppose the use of vi; rather, it calls proprietary software anathema. ("Using a free version of vi is not a sin but a penance.") The Church of Emacs has its own newsgroup, alt.religion.emacs, that has posts purporting to support this belief system.]
They made a religion out of a slightly better version of Notepad++. Notepad religion.
There's more,
[ID: Regarding vi's modal nature (a common point of frustration for new users)[35] some Emacs users joke that vi has two modes – "beep repeatedly" and "break everything". vi users enjoy joking that Emacs's key-sequences induce carpal tunnel syndrome, or mentioning one of many satirical expansions of the acronym EMACS, such as "Escape Meta Alt Control Shift" (a jab at Emacs's reliance on modifier keys)[36] or "Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping" (in a time when that was a great amount of memory) or "EMACS Makes Any Computer Slow" (a recursive acronym like those Stallman uses)[37] or "Eventually Munches All Computer Storage", in reference to Emacs's high system resource requirements.]
Harsh, coming from users of an editor that can't type and backspace on the same screen. (Also, breaking Larry Tesler's golden rule of UI: absolutely No Modes!
I'll give them one thing, and that's that I do use Sublime Text... but only because installing Emacs on Windows is nigh-on impossible!
Here's the clincher though:
[ID: for fun, googling Emacs brings up the suggestion, "Did you mean: Vi" and vice versa]
