>Fine, install mg, it'll do 90% of what I need.

oh no, mg is pretty crappy. I use a lot of emacs features and the ones I just need on that file are usually not available.

If I need to choose between mg and vim I'll always use vim, it's far superior than any of these cheap emacs clones.

Use a real Emacs or use Vim... that's it.
