Both Emacs and Vim are highly customisable text editors. They are
configurable with complete programming languages specific to the
program, and both have a huge community of programmers writing useful
extensions.

So, neither of them is "just an editor"; they are editors at their
core, that can become complete programming environments by taking
already-written components for them. Your operating system
distribution of either Vim or Emacs will already include many of these
components when you install the package, and many more are available.
