| Hmm, I'm curious.  Can you show me a sample task that made you switch
| to vim?

I made the switch after being a 5 year Emacs die-hard.  There were
two simple things that made me switch.  I was doing "big" edits in
emacs and "small" edits in vim.  I finally asked myself why i was
using 2 editors... i realized i only needed one.  The second reason,
however was the very simple difference between the two: moded vs.
modeless operation.  With moded operation, i get the "." operator.
That's really all i needed.

Regs,
D
