While Python scripting in Vim is very cool, my understanding was that Vim's scripting API was rather limited in comparison to Emacs. Vim only exposes a few hooks with the majority of the editor features implemented in its C core, while Emacs implements pretty much everything in Elisp, thus exposing pretty much everything to extensions. But please correct me if I'm wrong -- this is just my impression from reading HN etc.
