Emacs is the opposite of the Unix way, as are many of the GNU tools. It's the opposite of "each tool does one thing and does it well" and is a "one thing will do everything, sometimes well and sometimes less". And since you already have a solution you are using, and are committed to the cargo cult of VI keybindings, then there's no reason for you to try emacs.
