This is getting OT, but when I first started using linux I encountered this vi/emacs thing and wanted no part of it. I wanted windows-like editors such as gedit, kedit etc. But slowly over time I found occasions when I needed to use them, marvelled at their power, got used to the fact that they were different, and now they are all I use: emacs for LaTeX, interacting with mysql and R, etc and vi for little things and email from within mutt (which is the result of a similar revelation: eudora on windows -> kmail -> evolution -> pine -> kmail -> evolution -> mutt).
I am not a sysadmin, just a simple desktop user, no macho stuff for me, I just find that these editors are both very powerful and fast.
