Well, I was an emacs user for a long time, then finally got some of
the vi/vim commands embedded in my fingertips, and switched to vim.
But after a while I missed the programmability of emacs, but still
wanted the speed of the short vim commands, so... switched to viper.
Viper is vi commands inside emacs, so has the best of both worlds.
All the emacs C-x and M-x commands still work, and so do most of the
single keystroke vi commands, with the notable exception of vim's v
and V, which I have learned to live without.

Unfortunately viper wasn't a choice of favourite editor on the LCA
registration.  :(
