Hopefully I can add more light than heat...

I use them both.  I would use emacs more if any of the 
local gurus here would take the time to show me more.
For instance, I am writing a small piece of C code that 
I know full well would be easier to do in emacs.  But I need
it done yesterday, and vi is extremely quick.  When I have time,
I will fire up emacs and learn some more.

I see it as a long term process.  Then again, I hope to be
a perfesser, so I got a real loonnggg term point of view.

So, if you are a emacs guru, take a newbie under your wing and
spend some time with him or her.  Don't just teach them 
C-X *; get them set up for programming or using TeX.  

Just another opinion ...
