I think I've written far more ordinary prose in Vim than I have code: two books, a dissertation, a dozen articles, probably sixty talks, letters, notes, thousands of email messages . . . you name it. I mainly use it, though, as an editor for LaTeX which, I think, is really using Vim precisely as it was intended (that is, as a code editor).
