In unix-ish circles "vim" is the name of a text editor. If you want to bury vim, you're probably a fan of emacs X-)
Am I the only one who loves gedit?
Apples, oranges, etc. Vim and Emacs are supposed to (partially) replace the entire userspace of an OS, they're much more than just text editors/IDEs.
I consider myself a vim poweruser and this doesn't match my experience. Vim is a great tool and I use it for a lot of things, but it's absolutely not a replacement for bash, screen, Chrome, etc.
It's much truer of Emacs than of Vim.
I think this is part of where the emacs / vim divide comes from.
People tend to imprint on whatever text editors they started with :-)
Gedit is too basic for me, in that style of text editors Sublime is much more full-featured.
Actually (unless I count the time I was a Commodore-using kid or a Windows-using teen *shudders*) IIRC I started with Emacs, though I never really made a serious effort to climb much of its learning curve.
Gonna check it out.
Additionally, if you're on os x, Textmate is basically the other Sublime. While I don't use any of their super advanced features, I've used the two interchangeably essentially without having to relearn any key commands.
