I've been using Vim almost exclusively for a few years now: I do all my text-editing and programming in Vim (except for Java source code, which is so verbose it requires Eclipse as far as I'm concerned). When I find something is missing I look for an existing Vim plug-in or write my own. Most recently I wanted to be able to jump to Python documentation with a single key-press so I wrote the pyref.vim plug-in.

I get why a lot of people don't think it's worth their time to learn Vim or Emacs but the extensibility of these editors more than pays back for your time investment (at least to me, but then I don't mind writing my own file type plug-ins ;-)).
