About 1/2 of the users use emacs, and about 1/2 use vi.
pmail is the main consumer of emacs cycles.
Heavy users of editing either use vi because reliabilty
and speed are more important that function,
or use emacs for the extension language and modeless
editing.  emacs is hard to learn.  The key mapping abilities
make it difficult for one user to help another, you can never
tell what key is bound to what.  vi is a pain to use.  so,
you take your pick...
