The only thing I use Vim for is coding. I use gedit for taking notes and logging my hours. I use OpenOffice/LibreOffice for documents, spreadsheets, invoices, etc. I use the web for most every type of communication from blogging to email to HN comments.
But when I'm coding, I'm in Vim mode. Moving between the two is much easier because I'm so used to it.
Almost everything is about mobility to me. I want to be able to sit down at any computer and accomplish my workflow the same way I do at any computer I own. Thus, the web and plain text are my friends. This was also the reason I started using Vim in the first place - I know it'll be on any linux box I ever use.
