A long time ago I was doing some on-site programming at a swiss bank, and the only available editors were vi on a Sun, or EDIT on a VMS machine (the project involved both.) I learned rudimentary vi on the fly while waiting for ftp-by-mail-over-uucp to deliver GNU emacs sources :-)

Do you lose all street cred if you use Emacs keyboard shortcuts whenever you can, but will use vim/nvim if there is no other choice?
You can just use evil mode inside emacs and get the best of both worlds.
Vim and Emacs barely overlap in functionality.
I do the same, vim is just more accessible on headless servers.
You always have a choice. Sometimes the best move is not to play.
