There is an interview where he explains what he likes about Emacs:
I have special Emacs modes to help me classify all the tens of thousands of papers and notes in my files, and special Emacs keyboard shortcuts that make bookwriting a little bit like playing an organ.
Probably one of the few rational vi/emacs arguments I've seen. And it also is a good reason why I like vi, given that I can barely hit two keys on a piano at the same time.

A bit of trivia: Knuth has actually studied the organ--in fact, he has a pipe organ at his home: http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/organ.html http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/organ.html
