I use vi(m) for quick and dirty things, emacs for latex and programming... but given that I still have residual vim finger-memory, maybe I should try switching back... emacs too does seem to have unicode support, but not particularly faster to type than latex math code.

Seeing as emacs is the kitchen sink, surely it has a vi emulation mode? :-)

Well, Emacs has not only one vi emulation mode, it has three.

As an Emacs fan it bothers me that Emacs is accused of being bloated. "Kitchen sink", and all that. Unlike some other editors, Emacs is modular. Extensions are loaded on demand. If you are not interested in vi emulation, or have no need for Python mode, just pretend they are not there.
