I still use vim. And I have supported the children in Uganda.

  So specifically on vim as a word processor: I've tried using vim as a word-processor and it doesn't work that well even with wordwrap configs enabled up to the wazoo. (and I've been vim user since 1998) I did use vim to write my dissertation but it was in LaTeX.

    Yeah, vim doesn't really do format at all. That being said, I feel like Latex has just too many features - making it more like words. I like .md format much better particularly a blend of markdown and latex for the occasional need of equations. I feel like eventually we'll return to the root of writing - to communicate. That process can take years but I'm so so happy that light formats like markdown is making inroads to businesses.

    vim-as-wordprocessor virtually always means some form of maarkup: Markdown, LaTeX, HTML, ASCIIdoc, etc., etc.
