I did a bunch of quality time with TECO on the PDP-10.
I started using emacs-like editors back in 1985 under Coherent or so when DGC wrote MicroEMACS, which is now MG on most systems. EDIT: this was a replacement for good old ed.
Later, under Dec Unix I used emacs . I have stuck with emacs ever since as it does what i need it to and is easy to add functionality and automation for many tasks.
