Vim is on pretty much everything, it starts up quickly, for rapid text editing it's pretty difficult to beat.
Emacs once it's up and running (in emacs server mode at least) is reasonably speedy but much more resource hungry and is an entire operating system.
To put it into perspective, I used org-mode for 6 months and loved it for that alone, but vim just works better for me as a text editor, YMMV.
