If you are writing wrong things you are at "insert" mode. If you just
search the right location, you're at "command" mode, so vi beats emacs
(0 = one key vs. Ctrl-A = 1.5 keys). You're right, it depends. That's
why I use emacs for document creating (more writing, less movements),
and vi for patching (more moving, less writing). Vi is the best in
moving (command) mode without doubts. :)

My suggestion on IRC was "forget about numpad". I said it on behalf of
more than 10 years of sysadmin's duties and ~9 years Unixoid's tasks.
The numpad's keys are bad habits from IBM-compatible MS Windows OSes.
Their editors use only numpad for moving. The side effect of that
Bad Thing TM design was wheel "invention" on mice. :) It's very funny
stuff, because X has middle button "one click" magic vs. "roll and
roll and roll. Energizer-like". :)
