Observations: - Emacs is not native to Unix. It's native to ITS. - vi is native to BSD specifically, though it's pretty universal at this point. Of course, vi fanatics are probably still using mutt. - ed was the original official Unix editor, but ed sucks. - Propeller-C, Propeller-V, and Propeller-X were habits I first picked up from Macs in the mid-eighties. Apple may have gotten it from Xerox PARC for all I know (cf. Ecclesiastes 1:9 <- obligatory Biblical reference, since this is a discussion of editors, i.e. a religious war). Granted, Propeller != Ctrl, but I still tend to think of this as more of a Mac thing than a Windows thing.
