"Which features are complementary? Pretty much everything that isn't straight text editing. Reading mail, usenet, running a shell, debugger (gdb), compiling, version control integration, man pages, todo lists/project planning (org, planner), browsing web, ide (CEDET), IM, IRC, remote file editing (TRAMP), etc. There are even silly things like games: tetris, snake, bubbles, pong.
Within the domain of strict text editing, both Emacs and vi do the job, which you prefer is like which ice cream you prefer. And I agree with richardhoskins, Viper mode is probably the way to explore Emacs if you're not interested in switching whole-hog.
Note: Apologies if any of the features are provided in vim, it's been a long time since I used it, and I was a very simple user of vim."
