Oh no, don't do that, then we will have an invasion of
Java/OO people :)

Yeah, I don't believe that either. Vim is even more
focused on programming. Or, to be exact, Emacs is as
much focused on programming. Only Emacs is focused on
everything else, too: Usenet, mail, the file system, you
name it. (Or so I've heard. I didn't use Vim to a
fraction of my Emacs time, so any Vim user may elaborate
on this.)

Some people say you type less with Vim, that Vim is
faster, and, you configure/extend *less*, so you
actually get more *work* done with much less strain on
your fingers. (Again, rumors perhaps.)
But... I couldn't live without
configuration/extension. That's what I love about Emacs.
