I use vi and emacs all the time, and it appeared almost random which one I pick. For code editing I also use Eclipse.
After I read an article like this a few months ago I started to keep track of which editor I use for what. Here's what I tend to do (not always, but most of the time):
- code editing of big code base: Eclipse
- casual code editing (of a few files): Emacs or vi
- Single file code editing, config file editing: vi

- Fishkins 13y agoHow are you defining power user? I feel like I have a solid command of the key bindings for both editors, but I only really know the Emacs ecosystem. My editor use is similar to linuxhansl's: Eclipse (with Emacs+) for day-job Java, Emacs (in Evil mode) for other local editing, and vi(m) when SSH'd or the like.
- fusiongyro 13y agoHave you tried eclim? I'm trying to hook it up to Emacs, but since I use Netbeans rather than Eclipse it's been less perfect going so far.
