Emacs is very different from vim (or vice-versa :-)), so people who use 
mainly vim and are very proficient in vim find it difficult to adapt to.

Other issues:

- emacs is huge. This means that it is often not installed on many 
systems (even though it can run on those systems). Vim is always 
installed. And if not vim, then at least vi.

- emacs is very very stable. Vim is rock stable. It just never crashed 
on me.

Let's not start a flamewar. The above are the reasons why I personally 
prefer vim to emacs.

Do you know if emacs supports DTML highligting even for &dtml-var; 
entity syntax?
