Something similar happened to me. I'm a happy Vim user and have been for years, but I've always used bash in emacs mode. However, some months ago I started to work in an environment full of Solaris 8 machines with ksh as their default shell in vi mode for some reason. It's configured that way for every machine and we have to constantly log in and out of them to do our jobs, and it's always been that way so I simply didn't ask for it to change. After all I was also the new guy. After a few weeks I got so tired of trying to use emacs commands in vi mode shells while at work, and vi commands while in emacs mode at home that I changed to vi mode at home. And I've been happy since then. It's not that hard. You get used to it quickly, especially if you use vi or Vim a lot like I do.
