I use vi. I have not had the pleasure of learning Emacs. For my
understanding, is it possible to define a list of files or directories
in a project and then search for instances of used variables and how
they are used? Same question for functions. I did a quick google
search and didn't find either of these capabilities illustrated.
For emacs (and, mutatis mutandis, for vim), see:

I see color syntax support. I know vi has auto indentation and I
assume emacs does as well but can they go as far as selecting blocks
of code and auto indent?
Well, if you have to select first it's not really auto-indent -- but
yeah, just select and C-M-\ (ie., Control-Alt-backslash).
Emacs is a very powerful editor, but it can be a harsh mistress in the
beginning. When you put in the effort, most people seem to hang on --
'Stockholm Syndrome' :-)
To bring back the Maemo-angle: with Emacs it's easy (though probably not
if you've never used emacs) to integrate with the environment, run
compilers, debuggers in scratchbox or even on device.
