4. All of the above.

Hold on. Operating systems and long-running esoteric history are always on topic here, right?

(This is spoken with something close to affection; I look fondly on my former Emacs days. I'm probably more likely than not to enjoy the company of a human who has at least tried Emacs and had some thoughtful reaction to it. I may not use it now, but the ideas live on in how I think and what I expect. Editors that push the limits, whatever those limits are, are part of the old school ethos I love about programming.)

I know, I use Emacs+Evil. I'm going to give Ki a try and, in case of success, to think about writing Ki binding for Emacs.
emacs already has structural editing packages like combobulate

"Emacs is an editor" is as true as "Toyota Hilux is a gattling gun carrier"
Vim is Emacs applied to Vi
