   i think, to really master emacs takes the same amount of time as it does for vi.
   [by "really master" i mean more than just "read/type/save"... :) ].
Having used both, I'd say mastering emacs takes a lot longer. But you
can do quite a lot with it without having mastered it.

   if one has used an editor for a long time, its features are sort of
   "hard-wired" in one's spine :) which speeds things up a lot -- by switching
   to another editor you're starting that learning process over again.

Yes, and learning is an utterly useless and bad thing. In addition,
you gain nothing. In principle editors edit text, and you can produce
any text with any editor. I don't know why I even have switched from
ed. Probably because its lines could be no longer than about 256
characters.
