In all seriousness, Emacs is very customizable.  If you take the time
to learn to use it properly it can be very handy; however, the lack of
availability (you can almost always find vi, even if it is a braindead
version) and the number of chorded-commands make it not worth the time
for me.  That and the fact that I actually like modal interfaces.
