I can live with vi if it's forced upon me, but I much prefer Emacs.
'Course nowadays, assuming you're using an x terminal (or are on
windows) both of them are fairly easily used through their toolbars ...
at least, I think vim has one now (or can perhaps - nearly certain). I
suppose that's for the "mortals" among us ;-O I just go for the "arcane
key sequences" personally - so much more efficient. One nifty thing I
really like about Emacs is that, sometimes I can remember the command
name but not it's key sequence - and it tells you what the sequence is
once you invoke it the "long" way. So, I can keep important shortcuts
in my head, and, when I run across a situation that requires me to use
something that I don't recall the shortcut for, I can invoke it manually
and get a referesher on what the sequence is to invoke it. I really
like that feature :-) It works great so long as you can remember the
"command name" or ... at least have an idea (as it has completion
assistance for commands too).

common commands at the bottom of the screen for us mortals?
