On the VMS (VAX 11/780) system that I use, almost all of the users came
from a DEC-20 and there is a widespread sentiment that "I'd love to use
EMACS if only we had it".  Well, we do have it; but users can run it
only if they manage to discover its presence serendipitously.  The
system manager has, probably rightly, elected NOT to publicize its
existence because it is NOT supported, nobody knows much about it
(including where it came from; ergo where to get assistance from),
and mostly because it has abysmal documentation.

I realize that this doesn't relate to "emacs vs. vi".  Btw.. what
about vms emacs?  anybody out there have any involvement with it?

Myself?  I use emacs.  But then again, the alternative is EDT.
