I will avoid any attempt to answer superiority. Editors are a
matter of personal taste, so you must try it yourself and decide.
But, we recently moved some VMS/EDT users to a UNIX environment and
they found it much easier to adapt to EMACS (Gnu) than to vi. They
also decided that the available EDT emulation modes were not enough
like EDT to be worth it. They bit the bullet and learned native
emacs.
