Quick quiz -- how many vim users actually donate money to the orphanage 
in Uganda?

Actually, what made Vim my editor of choice was the GVim implementation 
on Windows, not the Unix/Linux versions. After all, they already had vi, 
and for those with enough memory, emacs. But the ability to do both "vi" 
keystroke editing and Notepad-like cut and paste in GVim was what made 
it indispensable to me.

ArchLinux, eh? I've forgotten -- is that a Debian derivative?
