I have seen people who aren't smart enough to use it.

I've seen people who aren't smart enough to use Notepad - that is not an argument in favor of Notepad.

Using Emacs isn't a major intellectual achievement. You can just type without worrying about things like modes. It has a GUI, with menus. That's how a lot of idiots use it, to pretend they're smart.

It takes a lot more brains to use (neo)vim or kakoune.

A lot more effort to use VIM is not something in it's favor.

I didn't say it was. It's like comparing a kiddie tricycle to a $10,000 racing bike. Everyone using vim will tell you it's a huge productivity boost.

EMACS just works better. No move/edit modes which is just annoying.

Back when I was coding I could prob edit twice as fast as my coworkers.

Do they lack the intelligence to use it or do they lack the inclination to shut off parts of their brains to use it?

Inability to use.
