I like emacs and vim. They each seem to have their places; I like emacs for its advanced programmer modes with auto indent, ChangeLog updates and stuff but vim is fast and I find it really quick for things like editting e-mail messages with mutt and the like. Vim wraps text while in input mode but I think I prefer emacs's word wrapping a bit betterand with emacs there's no mixing up input and command modes but then again with vim's command mode, you can do some pretty good mass operations with small number of keystrokes. I have discovered in recent time that vim does have a lot more advanced features than I had previously known. So they are probably pretty competetive now. It's real easy to get into "editor wars" but so far, I'm just expressing my personal view and what I like3 in editors that I personally use.
