Emacs macros are much easier to use than VI macros. With VI, one
must imagine the changes to the file to construct the macro. With
a complicated macro, this can be very difficult. With Emacs, the
definition of the macro is executed as you type it in, so all the
effects are apparent.
GNU Emacs has reqular expression searches in addition to the normal
incremental searching.
