After roughly 40 years of EDT/EVE/TPU (and TECO) and around 30 years of

I've thought about adding EMACS but I'm not sure how much memory space
my fingers have left.

 In my case, I put up with vi because that was the only thing you could be
sure of having on all the proprietary Unix® systems.
 Once Unix® went defunct and Linux took over, I switched to Emacs, and
(almost) never looked back.

No guarantee that emacs is installed on a Linux system. I am not even
sure that it is common to have it installed on servers.
