Seriously, I think Vim is more dangerous than Emacs for RSI in some respects. Emacs forces you to change your hands' positions as you alternate modifiers. This means that your hands do move more, but they on the balance do given actions less.
At least that's my impression. Obviously there's a lot of posture issues, and you can mitigate RSI to some degree simply by getting up and stretching your hands every 30 minutes. But it's not a simple matter of moving less -> less RSI. If you don't dramatically reduce the number of actions, moving less can be a problem.
