If it's any consideration, Zak and I are both Emacs users (sorry Zak :P).
Glad to hear I'm not alone. :-)
Personally, and like I said, I use Emacs as my primary editor of choice for most of my editing work, vim for administrative tasks (and editing of files over an ssh connection)
Me too. Although I have been known to install emacs when doing extensive work on a remote system, much to the vexation of the system administrators. (Sorry, but my vi kung-fu is weak.)
Additionally, I can extend it and customize it to my preferences and my work habits. But that's me. :D How about you? :)
Indeed! I also love emacs for its macros, regular expression support, customizable modes for any file type under the sun, macros, symbol completion, even the mini-calendar, and have I mentioned macros yet? I also have a strange affinity for Lisp, which is a welcome break from the other languages I use for "real" work.
And for vi aficionados interested in experimenting with emacs, vi-mode should definitely soften the learning curve. :-D
