[Tutor] Productivity

[Guillermo Fernandez]

Hi,

I always hear that vim and emacs are wonderful editors, and that when we 
know it they enhance productivity without explaining why. I've used 
emacs for some time, and I've tried without much succes to start using vi.

Could someone explain the features that make them enhance productivity 
in such manner?

I know this is not a direct python question though...

Thanks!

Guille
