To Exit EMACS:? Control-X Control-C?
Can EMACS be expanded enough to emulate VI?
Yes.? There is an elisp package called EVIL (Extensible VI Layer) that
emulates VI in EMACS.
Since EMACS has a full programming language (elisp), you can write
anything you want in it (mail readers, browsers, calendar apps, other
editors, etc).? I've written a few things in elisp to mainly deal with
global changes that were more complicated than I could figure out with a
SED script.
Can VI be expanded enough to emulate EMACS?
No
idea.
