Vi is a great editing mode — for a real operating system, Emacs. :)

I suppose you've seen the old joke about emacs being a great operating system that includes an editor.
Actually, from everything I've seen emacs is pretty powerful. However, I started with vi, and spent a lot of time learning how to use it really well. Getting to the same point with emacs would take a similar investment. As I've already lost all my hair, I'm not going to go there. :-)
