Can EMACS be expanded enough to emulate VI?

Yes.  There is an elisp package called EVIL (Extensible VI Layer) that emulates VI in EMACS.

Since EMACS has a full programming language (elisp), you can write anything you want in it (mail readers, browsers, calendar apps, other editors, etc).  I've written a few things in elisp to mainly deal with global changes that were more complicated than I could figure out with a SED script.

Can VI be expanded enough to emulate EMACS?
No idea.
