I once created a single-line emulation of vi in Perl for a terminal- oriented program I was writing. It's surprising how little code you need to implement the basic editing commands. I think it's because once you've provided w to move to the next word you get cw and dw almost for free, and so on for other movements. -- Matthew Winn

The one use case I know of was binary-patching UUCP back in the day. Back then, vi barfed on line lengths 255. But emacs was just unusable for an admin!. So there was a small howto on installing viper in emacs in order to patch the UUCP binary. Emacs for line length, viper for usability. That howto even made it into a magazine.
