Found a great list of reasons to prefer either emacs over vi, or vi over emacs. Note that recent releases of vim have added quite a few features (but of course, that begins to prove the whole point of emacs …), and it’s not nearly the primitive editor it was once; now it’s the primitive editor it is now. Emacs, of course, is not standing still: version 22 will soon be out. This years marks the 31st birthday of emacs; it’s a text editor older than I am, one which has been continually improved all that time.

It’s pretty nifty.
