I can see having a separate group for emacs.  From what I understand,
its macro language is so powerful that it it can be programmed to do
just about anything.  All of those programs to make it a mail program,
a news program, a CAD program , a welfare program, or what ever,
have to live somewhere ;-).

vi on the other hand is just a text editor.  I doubt there is
enought traffic in "Why doesn't this work" and "How can I do this"
questions to warrant a separate group.

Of course, this is just my opinion :-).
