I have to say after getting to know both i found vi alot more efficent, emacs on the other hand was alot easier to learn for the first 5 minutes or so but all the shortcuts are bullshit

Emacs is a great operating system, but its editor sucks.
Hint: Use a terminal editor in 2007 for maximum manliness

I like vim b/c its easier to embed into whatever ide you want, be it Visual Studio, NetBeans, Eclipse, Emacs,etc. You keep the editing efficiency of vim but keep all the extra goodies of ides, like code completion, easy project management, etc.

When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED! ED!ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

Agreed. It amazes me how many people think that vi and emacs are the best editors out there. I guess it gives them some 'hacker cool' or something.

Textmate is for ENTERPRISE faggots. I just opened it to look at the default syntax highlighting languages, let me post some of them:
Blog - HTML
Blog - Markdown
Blog - Text
Blog - Textile
HTML
HTML (Rails)
Java
Java Properties
Ruby
Ruby on Rails
SQL (Rails)
What the fuck is this shit?
It also fails hard at representing some UTF-8 characters. Shit sucks.

You know you can remove those right? I did, and installed the Haskell and Scheme bundles instead.

If it doesn't have a BBCODE syntax highlighter, I'm not interested.
That's correct, vim is a LINE editor. Text editors are filled with digital AIDS, I cannot see why people would use them when there's ed and vi.

vim is good. Not everyone of us has pinkies made of rubber to hit that DDR-esque ctrl-meta-alt-super-menu-cokebottle combo.

just because i've never used emacs and don't have to because i use vim or vi when vim is unavailable, of course vi is only for obscure posix unix systems i ride dirty on through ssh, vim is for home where i develop

There is BBCODE syntax highlighting in Textmate, it's the bundle named bulletin board. When you save files with the extension .bbcode, it uses this bundle. Of course if you're a true EXPERT BBCODE PROGRAMMER you can safely rename it to BBCODE from the bundle editor.

it always pays to know vi, because vi is defined in the posix standard, you will never be without

I never really got much into emacs. I am not great at vi, but I find it easier to use. I use it whenever i need to program small projects or are editing LaTex documents.
