Let's also drag out "I know just enough vi to compile emacs" and "at least you can run vi inside of emacs."

>Emacs is a great platform. Its only weakness is as a text editor. :)

It has a text editor? I thought it was just a text adventure game!

Oh it is, my friend, it is!

Currently running Emacs with Vimpulse. Best of both worlds or crazy franken-editor? I've not decided yet :)

Although I use VIM pretty much exclusively and haven't really used EMACS in a while, I have been impressed with LaTeX mode in EMACS and wish that was the way things worked in VIM.

My guess is that you get some areas where it is a crazy franken-editor and some areas where it may actually be pretty cool.

I use evil-mode myself. And yes, it's definitely a crazy franken-editor, but I prefer it to dealing with vim's API. I wish that "." respected the previous visual mode, though. Makes indentation a pain.
