Emacs or Vi? Why the answer is neither.

MonoDevelop has a Vi mode, and most functions in IDE's are mapped 
to keyboard shortcuts anyways. Ctrl-F for find/replace, 
Ctrl-K-C/U for commenting, etc... there's probably even keys do 
navigate the project overview.

I don't see what's so bad with moving your hands around a bit 
anyways. Don't you have to move your hands away from "home 
position" to use the arrow keys to move around with a keyboard 
anyways? The muscle memory for moving to the mouse feels very 
similar to me.
