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.
