Sadly every minute gained with vim/emacs/anything is another 10 minutes wasted arguing about it... Disclaimer: I use vim because I just like it. The key to becoming more efficient in my opinion? Learning to type faster. Saves you all kinda trouble when you're posting to HN as well ;)

Very true. I think the key to efficiency is alway happiness. When you're happy with your environment, you most likely can work without worries or disturbances and are thus efficient. So, use the tools that make you happy. Personally, I use Emacs and I love it. But I don't think that Emacs inherently makes me more efficient than, say Vim or Sublime Text. That said, you should use a tool with sufficient power so you are not limited by it. So no Notepad, sorry.
