vi and emacs are "fancy" text editors that have a bunch of features that make them more usable by people familiar with them. Steeper learning curve, but much more productivity.
VI compatibility mode means that windriver emulates that interface. This allows someone who is used to VI to be more productive.
There is a bit of a holy war as to which is better (emacs or vi), it simply boils down to a matter of preference.
