Another vim user here. I haven't decided to switch, but I've been thinking about it for a while. Like many others, I wouldn't be switching from vim, which is just my text editor, but from from an assortment of CLI tools that make up my "IDE" (perhaps just "DE" would be more accurate). In theory, I don't like the idea of my text editor being my OS; I prefer the unix philosophy for tools, which interoperate via standards and are widely portable. But, having recently attempted to write a bunch of posix-compliant shell scripts... I think practically emacs might just be a better OS. Particularly in the sense of everything being more uniform.
