99% of can emacs do are to be answered by a firm yes, and an additional "it's built-in since 198*"
100% THIS! There is even a built-in Vi mode (
viper-mode) in Emacs!evil is the recommended vi emulation these days. You could say emacs has *at least* three vi emulation modes.
I bet that folks that prefer vi to Vim would prefer viper to evil.
Those exist? That's like hipster^2 (I say this as someone who can't even type a damn email without my Vi(m) reflexes kicking in).
I imagine some people prefer vi because they think Vim is "bloatware".
