Emacs has a lot going for it as a programmer's editor, especially for
working with PostgreSQL (it has several modes that allow you to do
most of your PostgreSQL work directly in an Emacs buffer).  If you are
concerned about the wacky keystrokes giving you RSI then you might
want to consider running Emacs in Viper mode.  Viper is a vi-emulation
package that runs on top of Emacs.  This allows you to use vi's more
typist friendly keystrokes with Emacs' wide range of powerful
extensions.
