I didn't think it was completely off-topic, but because it seems that
majority of the people like (g)vi(m), if I recall correctly; and vi is
truly a part of Unix-like systems (which Emacs isn't, even though the
FSF wished it were), I figured it was slightly off-topic. It was a
highly Emacs-specific question, and I figured I would rather err on the
side of safety as opposed to not. :-)
