> while Emacs fans tend to underestimate modern Vim's capability.

I don't doubt vim is very powerful for things like programming, but can I use it to automatically scan my emails for keywords and make TODOs out of them (in just a few lines of code)? Can I use vim to compute derivatives of math functions and automatically insert them into LaTeX documents? And so on.

Don't look at Emacs merely as a programming editor. It's a playground for anything textual.
