Vim is a nifty editor, using Emacs is for most a major investment in adapting your workflow to it, Emacs users tend to want to do everything possible in it. Of course you can use Emacs as just another editor, but the culture around it is to use as a multi-purpose toolbox. It's not so strange that Emacs users would be fewer but far more invested. For Vim users the keybindings are essential, but for most the scripts aren't that important, that's why other editors can seduce them by offering vi keybindings. But an Emacs user shivers at the thought of losing all their elisp. (Note: Vim user) |

For one's own machine yes, for editing on somebody else's or on a server... meh. I'd sooner have a barebones emacs (aka mg) than have to use vi, if only because I'll corrupt half the file in about 10 seconds in vi.
