Not to start any religious wars, but Emacs is a lot closer to TextMate, which is now my favorite editor. I've been forcing myself to use Vi lately even though I prefer Emacs, since I use things like a Buffalo TeraStation & GP2X that lack the power to run Emacs. If you're running Ubuntu with Gnome, try out Gedit. It's a nice mouse-oriented editor although it isn't as powerful as Emacs.

Originally, I made the switch from FreeBSD to Mac OS X, but that was several years ago.

Giving up Skype will be a pain, but they don't make a PowerPC version. I really enjoy using the video chat, but now that my family is audio-only, I can most likely get away with some other kind of VoIP option. The Gizmo Project does not support PowerPC either.

I love TextMate on my Mac, but at work I use Eclipse on Ubuntu, which seems to work out quite well for full-scale development, but it's pretty chunky for one-off file edits. I'll have to give vim & gvim a chance. I never liked vi.
