A lot of people seem to end up like me.  I love emacs and use it even to
read mail and news (Gnus is the greatest news reader and mail reader in
existence, no exceptions) and for all programming (automatic formatting,
once you've both gotten used to what it does and customized it for your
indentation style, is wonderful).  For almost everything else, I use vi
because it's extremely fast, comfortable, and small, and because I'm
guaranteed to always have it on any Unix system I happen to find myself in
front of.

Yes, I've been through gnuclient/emacsclient and the arguments there, and
yes, you can make emacs start very quickly (I do use gnuclient), but I
still like and use vi.  After the initial adjustment period, I've found it
much easier than I expected to just switch back and forth.
