I used to be all vi all the time. One day I figured I ought to learn emacs. I don't remember what the exact impetus was, but I gave myself an 8 week challenge to use nothing but emacs. For the next ~7 years, I pretty much used nothing but emacs, and it was enlightening to work with text in the emacs concept, and to witness emacs' implementation of its concepts, and all the excellent modes that authors developed within its framework. Fast-forward to about 4 months ago, and I thought: "My vi-fu isn't at the level of my emacs-fu", so I gave myself an 8 week challenge... If anybody were to ask me "should I learn emacs or vi?", an appropriate answer would be "yes." They're both awesome, and you can learn both. Go for it.
