greet all, I am no guru. But let's stop this war! To me, choice of editor depends on your experience, skill and task on hand. I use vi and my boss at work uses emacs. We both like our own choice very much and enjoy the way our choice works for us. But we never try to "convert" each other, fortunately.
For the experience of being converted to something else, if you are a buddist, try being converted by a Christian or vice versa. If you don't believe in any form of god, you are free to choose one or create your own:-) have a peaceful sunday.
