Well, I cut my teeth on vi 30+ years ago (yes :(, on Unix V7 on a PDP
11/45 I think it was...) and my fingers still think that hjkl are the
normal keys to use for navigation! I do like the modal approach of vi.
However, it's the power of Emacs as a development platform
(i.e. infinitely customisable) that means I have been using it for
almost as long and it is my editor of choice for most things. For quick
and dirty jobs (e.g. add a line or two in some config file while logged
in from my phone), I'll use vi but otherwise it's Emacs.
I did try one or another of the vi modes in Emacs but just basically got
annoyed so gave up...
I am following the development of org on vim closely, mind you, but
haven't tried it out yet. However, I would need gnus on vim as well ;-)
