Vim and emacs usually run in the terminal and require keyboard commands to complete actions.

A GUI IDE like vscode or pycharm has mouse driven menus and buttons, although of course it's possible to use keyboard commands.

That to me is the difference. Personally, I use vim mod with pycharm and some messy hybrid combination of vim commands and ctrl + ?

It is most certainly not usual to run Emacs in the terminal.

And you can use Emacs with a mouse.

I use vim, but considered emacs. I thought the plugins like organisers and such seemed a cool idea.

It is, but you have gui features

collapsed inline media

I use Emacs and neovim. Each is better in different scenarios.
