The interesting thing is: I can get things done in emacs much better than in anything else, since I am using tramp/dired+/cperl/auctex/re-builder/shell/svn/ediff/gud/etc.(could go on forever ;) which give me a competitive edge when compared to other tools; I was a heavy vim user (7y) before and still use it if it's just a typo or something like that, but vim has its own problems (different machines, different versions)
