I used emacs on a wide variety of systems many years ago. At the time it was the closest to a universal editor for the different systems I was using back then. Over the years however I have found vi to be available on virtually all systems now as a standard editor. Trying to get emacs installed on a system to do some simple editing was to much of a bother. And since vi is on most systems by default it was easier to use that. I still miss emacs occasionally, could do some very complex macros with it very easily. YMMV. :) -- Scot L.
