Just for the sake of completness (and for those that don't know vim):
currently there are 1947 vim plugins listed at vim.sf.net and about
1300 tips for customization. You can also extend vim in one of
vimscript, python, *ruby*, tcl and/or mzscheme... so I really don't
think Emacs is more customizable than Vim. Those being said, I love
Emacs just as much as Vim, they both rock!
