Absolutely! I do something similar:
alias emacs="emacsclient -t -a /usr/bin/emacs"
I imagine my preference for vim for quick editing is entirely
idiosyncratic. Somehow it feels closer to the command line---easier to
get in and out when I simply have to change one or two things in a file.
That, and habit, and the ease of using it with sudo.
(As an aside, finger memory is truly remarkable. I imagine others have
the same experience, but somehow the hands magically sort out the keys
for each editor without my having to think about it.)
Best,
Matt
