Vim tries to be *only* an editor and does a good job at it. Emacs tries to be your operating environment thus integrating (almost) all the tools and applications that programmers (and users alike) generally use, into a single place making them accessible right inside the editor. Clearly, the goals of Vi(m) and (X)Emacs are _supposedly_ different. However, lately I realised that vim (with its scripting extensions) has begun to do things the Emacs way - adding in features not directly relevant to text editing like web browsing, mail, games, development tools, and so on. Check out http://www.vim.org/scripts/ to add more power to your vim editor.
