Maybe, if specific vi features are found to be important to that popularity and
those features (or similar) might also make sense for Emacs.

IOW, (1) yes, one can always learn from others, and (2) the devil is in the

General lamentation about the relative popularity of Emacs wrt vi, TextPad, or
anything else is what I don't understand.
