I am curious, what part of Emacs is better than Vi?
IMHO EMACS is not better than Vi. They both have their uses and are both
excellent. I stated that I much prefer EMACS for development over most
other editors, including some IDEs. I like the ability in emacs to be
able to edit multiple files simultaneously and display them in windows
although vi also can edit multiple files too. I also prefer that emacs
can run scripts, commands or compiles capturing results in windows.
My personal preference is to use emacs for development, but to use vi
for remote editing and quick editing of some files.
