I used emacs on a wide variety of systems many years ago.  At the time
it was the closest to a universal editor for the different systems I was
using back then.

Over the years however I have found vi to be available on virtually all
systems now as a standard editor.  Trying to get emacs installed on a
system to do some simple editing was to much of a bother.  And since vi
is on most systems by default it was easier to use that.

I still miss emacs occasionally, could do some very complex macros with
it very easily.  

YMMV.  :)
