I could say that the debate is mostly relevant to "1337" hackers, that are un-pragmatic bordering to religious. I won't do that, and instead state that the wise person selects the tool appropriate for the task. I sometimes use emacs, and avoids vi as much as possible because I happened to learn emacs first. But prefer IDE's and typed languages because I have a unreliable memory in respect to function names and argument order and irrelevant details like that, and I don't want to spend half my life trying to set up either emacs or vi to handle code completion so that it's even halfway-decent. But that's just me...
