I used both back in college. I usually used XEmacs for coding and reading mail/usenet and vi for sysadmin stuff. These days I've moved on to IDEs for coding and only break out emacs for editing binaries or large files.

It worked out pretty well as long as I used Emacs in an X window and vi on the command line. But if I ran emacs in a terminal, I automatically started typing vi commands into it.
