Why not both? Emacs is a fine operating system, all it's missing is a really good text editor. Vim fills that niche well.

I use nano :^)

Emacs is a pretty good operating system, it just lacks a good text editor.

Both are fine to use, whatever helps you code better.

vi is on most servers if you work with servers at work. So it's helpful to know vi/vim versus emacs in that regard.

Both communities have a lot of plugins. I find emacs has more in the way of plugins.

You should be using Sublime Text 2.

I run Notepad++ under Wine. You have 60 seconds to tell me why I should not do this.
