<massive generalization> It seems like DBAs that use Emacs over vi (emacs vs. vi being the classic UNIX holy war) tend to be people who were introduced to UNIX by being either a developer or an end-user. If a DBA favors vi over emacs, it seems that they generally come from a sysadmin background. That's how I ended up a vi user - none of the systems I was ever working on could be counted to have any editor OTHER than vi. For better or worse, its the ubiquitous UNIX text editor.
</massive generalization> Of course, there are those who use notepad + ftp........
