I use... (Score:1)

1. what text editor you use
Vim [vim.org].

2. what text editor you would use instead if the one you use did not exist

I assume that if Vim didn't exist something like it would have to be invented, so I'd probably be using that one. Assuming just one of the existing ones, probably Emacs.

3. what factor separates the two

The most important factor is that I'm used to Vim and know my way around. I don't have any practice with Emacs and I don't feel there's a need for that. Vim suits all my needs. Er... for text editing.
