You can work with CM from vi just as easily as from emacs. Emacs has the 
particular amenity of being able to evaluate your Lisp expressions from 
within itself. You can do something similar with vi's shell command but 
I'll recommend at least learning how to use xemacs. I did a lot of work 
with Lisp in vi before I learned a little more about emacs. I still 
prefer vi for writing but I like using emacs for  Common Music.

And Frank: Lisp is 'way cool, very easy to learn, you'll get used to it 
quickly. You don't need to learn everything about the language to use 
the Common apps, and if you have any background in another language 
you'll find Lisp very straightforward to acquire.

Have fun !

PS: I'm interested to see what possibilities evolve from this Pd + CM 
liaison...
