Well, switching back and forth is annoying, but if it's only occasional use

keystrokes as in vi or emacs.

This is exactly my situation, and it's really not a problem.

Ehn. I learned vi back when emacs' execution size was bigger than the 
address space available in real mode and vi would run in 64k. :-)
