Two reasons I use emacs: 1. For any question "Can I do X with emacs", the answer is almost always "yes, use this code that's already written and working" 2. I already know it ;-) BTW, I use vi keybindings, and I imagine all other editors can do the same (though perhaps not as well as viper, the emacs package that does this -- see 1. above), so that's no reason in itself to use vim.
