I find a large number of people around me who have used vim a few times while writing programs. Very few of them have grown into becoming effective vim users. The majority drop out because of its initially daunting interface. A good number of the interested users switch to emacs, because they think the 'power' just isn't there with vim. I am not saying emacs is bad, but I just cannot stand decisions made on lack of information.

Wow, so I'm not the only one out there! :-) Personally, I like the mcedit, too, but it's not as handy when terminal emulation is not very good.
