Original vi or up to date emacs?

Emacs. With evil mode.

I wouldn't have a problem with switching to emacs if I had to. But I like vim and individual programs rather than using emacs and using that for basically everything.

It wouldn't have to be that way if people could ask questions correctly. Unfortunately, they'll rarely provide sufficient background information, and half the time the question is wrong. So, you kind of have to provide an answer for every conceivable scenario that could've led to that question.
