This is true... the price for teaching your fingers is high so people tend to 
stick with what they know.

You really need two editors, one for 'textmode tight spots' in a console or 
over ssh, and one for 'real editing' in a GUI.  For what its worth I also use 
vi when I am editing in a textmode console, it has more features than I know 
how to use, but all I really need from it is the core editing actions.   I 
favour kwrite / kate in X, which I find very clean and obvious.  KDE has this 
sort of kwrite editing component scheme, so the same editor turns up in 
multiple KDE apps.

ssh, scp and a lightweight editor like vi is not to be sniffed at in terms of 
being able to get work done remotely and securely on low bandwidth.
