not OP, but yes. most people that cite vi-vs-emacs diatribes these days have never actually even used "real" vi - vim has just about all the "bloat" of emacs but without the real extensibility/programmability.. and just about any emacs session will likely be an order of magnitude smaller than any ide, while on the topic of bloat. - someone who uses emacs and vi (but not vim) ps: BSD is Unix
