Let's face it:
* vi is a text editor.
* emacs is an elisp based monster which happen to also be a text editor
by default (but it can be your mail reader, and far more, including your
navigation shell)
* other programs daring to be titled "text editor" are just lacking a
lot of functionalities and are at best replacement for Notepad.
