 Editor war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Church of Emacs formed by Richard Stallman is a joke, and while it refers to vi vi vi (which is 666 in roman numerals) as the "editor of the beast", it does not oppose the use of vi; rather, it calls proprietary software anathema.
Emacs is scriptable in a variant of LISP (Emacs Lisp) and has many plug-ins such as the gnus newsreader and various software development tools.
GNU Emacs can perform computations with some calendars, such as Mayan or Discordian, which are not supported by the vi-like editors.

A text-mode Emacs has exactly one frame, while a graphical-mode Emacs has one or more frames, which are displayed as separate windows on the user's system; Emacs 'windows' are separate buffers visible simultaneously within one frame.
Apart from a large "help file", Emacs is also "self-documenting" in the sense that each function and variable have an easely available documentation string which is part of the code, rather than in a seperate file.
Emacs will even show some documentations for a function that lack such a string, like the fact that it exists, where it is defined, and what arguments it takes.

 Emacs and Vi
NOT "Vi vs. Emacs" -- Despite twenty or thirty years of abuse thrown at each other by adherants of the Church of Vi vs the Church of Emacs, I feel the two editors are complimentary, rather than antogonistic.
Emacs actually consists of a LISP interpreter executing a few pre-compiled primitive routines written in C plus about 200,000 lines of LISP code to implement all the functions of the editor.
Emacs GUI is much easier to use for large text jobs - writing the Great American Novel or whatever - and producing a "clean" file.

 Emacs - the Swiss Army knife of Linux
Each Emacs screen (which is a single window on a windowing system, or the entire screen on a text terminal) can display one or more buffers at a time.
Emacs provides extensive facilities to support this, including commands for looking up the documentation of loaded functions and variables (this is known as self-documentation.) By re-evaluating the user-supplied Lisp code, the behavior of Emacs can be modified "on the fly", without having to recompile or even restart the editor.
