You mean there are people who don't recognize the obvious superiority
of vi?

Sorry, I had to say it.  ;-)

I think the big ones that keep surfacing are the already-mentioned
Perl vs. Python, KDE vs. GNOME, and MySQL vs. PostgreSQL, plus the
local favorite Sendmail vs. Postfix (or Qmail).

Speaking of vi vs. emacs, I actually played with viper-mode under
xemacs for a while recently...  I was considering using it to get
psgml, but eventually decided against it.  (gvim is sufficiently evil
for me.)
