If you want a short answers it is a text editor. If you want the long answer i might not be the best person for it but here it goes: You start using it as a text editor but it is a bottomless pit of freedom and practicality, where you put 100s of keyboard shortcuts into muscles memory, and one day you will find your self replacing your terminal with emacs.
