"My conclusion was this: vi is better for touch typists. Your fingers are almost on the home row. Emacs wants you to hit the meta/alt key a lot, which is difficult for a touch typist. It's much harder than hitting shift. Vi makes you hit escape, but that only happens when you switch modes and it's not that hard to hit."

In emacs you can type exactly the same as in vi/vim if you use something like evil, doom, or spacemacs.
