Absolutely! I do something similar: alias emacs="emacsclient -t -a /usr/bin/emacs" I imagine my preference for vim for quick editing is entirely idiosyncratic. Somehow it feels closer to the command line---easier to get in and out when I simply have to change one or two things in a file. That, and habit, and the ease of using it with sudo. (As an aside, finger memory is truly remarkable. I imagine others have the same experience, but somehow the hands magically sort out the keys for each editor without my having to think about it.)
