I don't know if 'superior' fits. I sniffed at emacs about 25 years ago. I 
don't claim superiority for vim but no way, no day am I using emacs. Lucky 
for me almost everything I use is cross-platform but I can see why a 
PhotoShop user might not be impressed by GIMP. However I never used 
PhotoShop and I still think GIMP is an object lesson in poor UX design.
