I've always been an EMACS user on UNIX and it sometimes seems like it can do EVERYTHING. The one problem with EMACS is that a lot of production systems (and even many non-prod) won't install it which means that when I'd have to use vi/vim and I'm just not as fluent with it. Especially since when I'm on those systems means that I'm trying to do fast debugging and navigation, being slowed down by my lack of experience with the editor is really frustrating.
I've decided to try to switch to VI/VIM to be the primary editor for awhile to force me to learn. There is no need to tell me that EMACS kicks butt (I agree), but unless you can get emacs installed everywhere, this is really more a decision based on my current situation.
