What people usually don't understand: vi(m) and emacs are different concepts.
Vim is a language for keyboard combinations, with a full grammar that contains subjects, objects, adjectives and verbs (e.g. df2m means delete until you find the second m occurance).
Emacs on the other hand allows to flexibly bind as much as you want on each keystroke or key shortcut, which is a completely different concept.
I don't favor vi over emacs. I don't give a damn what you use, use the tool that makes you the most productive. Vim helped me to reflect on my own inefficiencies and taught me how I can optimize my own workflow. And this also applies to emacs users.
If the most efficient tool turns out to be notepad++ for you - I don't care, as long as you're happy with using it. There's no point trying to convince others to use a tool if it doesn't reflect or optimize their workflow. If they don't see the need, they won't be able to appreciate it either (yet).
