One feature I have that emacs don't is that I'm able to efficiently edit
a file on a remote machine with vim on a terminal (without graphical
interface), and I'm using it. Apart from that, both solutions are
emacs has the same efficiency on a terminal.
or maybe I don't understand your sentence.
Perhaps this is a reference to the alt/meta/control/buckey/super
key-chords that emacs is infamous for using that don't always get
reliably transmitted by all terminal-emulation programs and
consoles. It was one of my nudging factors towards vi (and later
vim), because I occasionally used some terminal software in which
alt or shift+control+alt (and other such combinations) weren't
detected. Never had that problem with vi/vim. And when all else
fails, I can usually fall back to ed in a pinch ;-)
