Good for you. I use VI for most everything on text editiing, and some 8 bit twiddling.
And I've been this way for a long time.
I personally think Emacs is for persons weak in intellect and spirit.
VI builds character.
We've revived a religious war from the early '80s. Just right where it left off.

Most of the people who used vi that came into cisco to work on IOS would switch. vi can’t keep up with the sheer amount of stuff a person needs to do in a system of that size (at the time I was hot and heavy into hacking IOS, it was 18 to 19 million LOC and growing rapidly). It would be funny to watch them flail around like someone drowning who is only able to dog-paddle. We’d take pity on them, take a week of our time and teach them how to use modern tools to deal with it.
I started using Emacs when I worked in a Lisp environment (NIL - “New Implementation of Lisp”, which was a precursor to Common Lisp). Using Emacs on a character display isn’t as slick as the Genera environment on a Symbolics lisp machine, but it gets you most of the way there. Genera... now that was a system way, way ahead of it’s time.
