I’ll add to that and say that if you use Emacs instead of Vim you should probably feel deep existential despair about making such a blatantly incorrect choice
It's the other way around: I use Emacs specifically because I perpetually feel deep existential despair.
I always used to feel this way, but I watched an interesting talk on emacs and learned about EVIL mode and a bunch of other really cool features and now I feel like there probably are some really compelling arguments in favor of emacs, that is if I ever could commit to the requisite couple of years to actually learn it.
You do realize that the Control and Meta keys in emacs are not easily accessibly for felines, right?
