For vi lovers this can all be done in a similar way with xvile, I use
it all the time, the equivalent to 'emacslient' is 'vileget'. It's
slightly cleverer than the above in fact, if vileget can't find a
running xvile it starts one up for you.
[x]vile is my vi clone of choice, it's actually based on an emacs
engine, has most of the goodies that emacs gives you but is close
enough to 'real' vi to present no problems when moving from vi to
xvile and back. It also has perl scripting built into it if you want.
