Each time I see a post about Emacs, I get jealous because I prefer Vi's text editing.

If only there existed a good modal editor with a good scripting language behind it...

I keep hoping that Yi (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Yi) goes somewhere, but it doesn't seem too active.

Have you considered viper-mode?

Aye. I've used both Vim and Emacs (Emacs less so, but it was my main editor for a few months, so I feel comfortable if not proficient with it), and once I realized neither was what I wanted, I switched to Viper mode.

But, somehow, I never really adjusted to it and now switch between Vim and when necessary Xcode.
