Pretty funny.  Perhaps someone ought to take out an ad for
Emacs when people search for "Eclipse."

    At least a partial explanation about why emacs is
    slipping so far behind vi??

Is it less popular than vi?  That's hard to believe.  I have
never been able to totally shake the feeling that vi really
originated as a practical joke.
