I use both, and even though I use emacs bindings less (actually I use jed with emacs bindings), I still make more mistakes in vi. For some reason, I don't think I'll ever get used to modes, and I think that is the single part of vi that causes other users problems as well (the rest of the programming team here uses vi exclusively while under unix, and they still make errors too). I don't think that emacs bindings are any easier or harder to remember than vi bindings are, it's just the modes that I trip over.
