Very simple question...

....coming from a guy who used IDEs throughout all his past programming experience:

What's the difference between Vi and Emacs?

I mean apart from Emacs being huge and having a GUI (duh)

having a GUI (duh)
...

Anyway Emacs is an operating system and Vim is just a modal text editor.

Emacs is an operating system

Pardon me. I can't seem to follow?! Are you perhaps saying that EMACs has all the tools and utilities need to cater as an OS while Vi is just and advanced text editor?

That would explain the huge difference in size.

~→$ which emacs
~→$ which vim
/usr/bin/vim
~→$

That's the difference on my machine.

This thread needs one of Xarn's famous "You're an idiot."s.

That's the joke, at least.

He should totally copyright that catchphrase.

It's what, 3x the size of vim?
not bad considering all the additional kitchen sinks emacs has. If you are worried about size, there is always zile, which is (or was) smaller than any of the vi clones I'd used.

EMACS is an operating system, Vim is an IDE, and vi is a text editor.
Vim can sort-of emulate vi, just like Visual Studio can sort-of emulate Notepad.

Use Eclipse instead.

I already use Eclipse. I'm searching for a text-editor.

I use Cream... Which is based on Vim which in turn is based on Vi.

I use gedit, because I am a heretic. Snippets are sufficient for me.

GNU ed is non-standard:

Here's a better one: http://heirloom.cvs.sourceforge.net/heirloom/heirloom/ed/
