I use emacs and vi at the same time, too. I usually have a two-pane emacs open that takes the whole screen and an 80x22 terminal in the back. When I need to navigate to some config file/log file etc. I use ls/pwd/pushd etc. and use vi from that terminal on whatever short edits I need. I use emacs for the code that I'm writing, the one that's under VCS and everything.
