Thanks to all who replied to this thread. It's good to know that others use vim much as I do. Some useful suggestions have come up. I already use (g)vim as my default editor for mutt but I'll look into LatexSuite and txtfmt.
A principal grouse of people who prefer other editors is that vim is modal. This doesn't actually bother me, perhaps because before I was using linux I was on DOS (didn't like Windows even then), and there I used a word processor called Protext, which was modal. Vim felt quite familiar to me in that respect when I came to it after a brief flirtation with emacs.
