[Gllug] vi vs emacs (repeat)

btw. as some don't seem to be aware of that - you can get to better 
"startup" speeds in emacs by using gnuserv mode  (that way, you start an 
emacs instance in background in gnuserv mode when you log in, and then 
attach to it to edit files with gnuclient, whenever you need an editor).

Doesn't take care of the "small" and "almost always present" points about 
vi, though...
