For your use case, might be worth exploring http://spacemacs.org/ then.
I'm personally sticking to Vi[m] and never tried that hybrid editor but
some friend of mine is enthusiastic about it as it allegedly combines the
best of both worlds (Emacs engine, Vi key bindings).

Given enough time, a UNIX user's likelihood to use one of the two approaches 1.
Why not support both sane configurations out of the box?

The sarcasm doesn't work good in an email, so:

- Use the editor you like, editors war is the most retarded discussion you can 
have in your life.

- You can't make such a statement in a man page, and then call a troll to 
someone who ask which one is better.

Well, the sarcasm doesn't work good in a mail, so:
