Emacs vs Vim

Which is better?

Personally I use Emacs just because modal editing seemed too strange to me.  Typing 'i' every time I wanted to type something was annoying, so I just learned Emacs instead.

Please be civil in this discussion about programming.  If you wish to troll and be rude, try one of the image boards.

When I started using "MULTICS without balls" back in the mid 90's the SunOS machine I was using had VI, so I learned to use it. I've found that most machines I've used since have VI, and rarely have Emacs. If for no other reason I use VI to this day.

Also, when I was six years old, back in the mid 80's, my old man put me in front of a terminal connected to some VAX mini so I could play around while he was working. So there's some nostalgia there too.

I've never even bothered to learn Emacs.

Therefore, my reasons are not reasonable. They are human.
