  I've been using vim for 12 years now. And it works pretty good for
  me as an "IDE". I've written a lot of vimscripts to make vim
  better do my bidding and made generous use of contributed scripts.

  I see no reason to think that I would be more productive using
  anything else, but that is just me.

  Along the way, I did use emacs as well and ended doing quite a bit
  of elisping.

  Elisp does have the advantage of asynchronously running the
  interpereter inside of the editor.... Just one thing that I
  wouldn't mind seeing in vim.....

  I do find vim a bit more nimble than emacs, but each to his/her
  own. It's wonderful to have all of the choices.

  """
  They'll take away my vim when they pry it from my cold, dead
  fingers.
