I guess it boils down to what you prefer using. Emacs is my shell, filebrowser, ftp client etc. Having a standard UI for all your text editing is pretty amazing. After all, everything inside a CLI is just text.
I run up an emacs server on startup and use emacs client to connect to it. It gives me the instant on of VI, plus the power of all the plugins and tweaks I've made to my emacs config.
These days, most coders using vim or gvim have a pretty large config setup which takes as long as emacs to startup anyway.
