afaik that is the one and only 'vim'. What I have used for close to 30 
years is gVim, the GUI version. I very seldom use the menubar options but 
the GUI allows spawning multiple windows like you mention without losing 
the console. Using "* for the buffer allows copy/paste to the system 
clipboard. I also use the vim extension in VS Code. There is a vim package 
for Visual Studio that I have used in the past. There is a 'neovim' but 
I've not used it.

The last time I looked at emacs was a long time ago but it was the GUI 
version. Unlike gVim the menu options were what made it usable for me 
since I never was proficient with all the three finger salutes. There are 
emacs keybindings for VS Code but there isn't any new activity.
