Is this how you approach all tools, or only editors?
Not to mention that using emacs as a simple text editor requires no
learning whatsoever. If you can use a menu, know what "open", "save",
"exit" and "help" means, "you can just start to use" it. Yes, there's
a lot to learn about emacs, but you don't have to write emacs
extensions from day one.
I'm not a vi user, but I'm pretty sure this holds for at least the
X-ified versions of vi, too.

I love that you don't need a mouse in emacs.
You certainly don't need a mouse in Vim, either. But real hairy chested
programmers use echo >foo.c so get with it.
