Yeah, emacs totally rocks.. but then the learning curve is just too much of a curve for me. vi is just so much easier for most of the things... sometimes it sounds quite insane that i am learning a text editor.. still better if it helps do things easily... although everyday I wish I was better at emacs.. i still use vi.... and it "just works" which is nearly enough for most things.
