You're not going to see it. Emacs users don't type or edit text faster than vi-users, they type and edit less text. Its a hard thing to convince someone that Emacs is a better editor, when it's clearly and obviously worse at editing text. viper-mode helps emacs be a better text-editor, but it also demonstrates that it is difficult to access that functionality that helps you type less and access the functionality that helps you type faster at the same time- it might not even sure it's possible. Disclaimer: I wrote a vi-clone in Javascript, and for editing text, I use vi.
