*SNORT*

Neither vi nor Emacs is intuitive *at all*. You just have to
memorize with your fingers the way to do what needs doing.
If you're used to one of them, the other will mind-rape you
with its perversity and total lack of sense.

That being said, I love Emacs, and use it for almost everything.
And sometimes I fire up a vi session just to keep my fingers
on their... uh... toes...
