Sometimes I impress my colleagues with what they call "magic", i.e. creating

I have yet to be truly impressed by Vim, in that Sublime Text with a
few extensions seems to do the same things just as easily. I find that
Vim and Emacs users consistently underrate the powers of these
editors, presumably because they've never put nearly as much effort
into them as they have into their Vim or Emacs.
I never looked into Sublime, because it costs money. But no doubt it is
a powerful editor, judging from comments of other people.
For example, to make a numbered list in (my) Sublime Text (fully
custom shortcuts ahead):
Alt-1 Alt-0 Alt-0 to repeat the next command 100 times
> [ ... some keystrokes ...]
Ctrl-Shift-q to repeat macro
Compare with Vim:

I'd actually do this in gvim to put numbers at each line:
- Select text (by mouse, or v + cursor movements)
- ! awk '{print NR ". " $0}'
Yes, it is cheating, it pipes the selected text through an external
tool. But why should I do the tedious exercise of constructing an editor
macro, when an external tool like awk can do the same so much easier?
