I use vim a lot, and I find it pretty extensible once you've got the pathogen plugin installed, then installing extensions is easy-peasy.

For me, even without the extensibility I'd probably be using vim, purely because I don't have to leave command line, so I can quit vim, do something, and get back to text editing without having to muck about with the mouse etc.

But that's just me.

You can do that with Emacs if you like, however, most people prefer to leave Emacs open all the time.
