Ok, I like vi, that's why I turn on vi emulation in emacs. I use vim for quick file viewing because it loads faster than emacs. But, over time, I've found that emacs gives you a load of little extras that suck you in and become indispensible. A few that spring to mind: -
- jde - java IDE, does most things that eclipse will without the memory footprint and crashes. - dired - directory browsing including remote browsing via ftp - sql-mode - sqlplus in emacs - gnuserve - so you can open up files from windows explorer in a pre-existing emacs instance. Yeah, you can probably get all of these from other programs that you use in conjunction with vim, but you don't get the integration (plus vim's syntax highlighting is slow. I've got a 200k perl script that takes minutes to highlight in vim, but only a few seconds in emacs). What have you got to lose (apart from a few months of your life messing with your .emacs).
