I agree with this. Even just navigating around a buffer, I'm used to the emacs keybindings to the extent that I always get tripped up in vi. It is reinforced by the fact that I use bash with emacs-style readline settings, and I use OS X (many Cocoa applications on OS X allow you to use emacs keybindings to move the cursor around). But at work, the Solaris box appears only to have vi (not even vim). So, I learn to adjust.
