When I'm not using an IDE, I'm a vi user because it's always there. When my /usr on FreeBSD has issues, vi is in /bin. OpenWrt ships with vi. I honestly have no idea if Emacs is any better, but not being a default makes it a non-starter for me.

Do you really have that many occasions to work in an environment where you can't ask for/install a package?

Limiting yourself for such rare occasions just sounds wrong.

Production corporate environments are often firewalled/locked down. To change anything you have to go through layers of dis/approval. You are generally stuck with the defaults till the end of time.
