I find myself to use the numeric movements rather rarely in vim, instead going for visual mode more naturally. Especially if n > 3. I don't need to count and have a visual confirmation on the active region.

And in emacs, working with the selection does similar things for me (esp. once you add some functions/modules like expand-selection to it).

For movement, it's mostly search forwards/backwards, in both vim and emacs. Raskin was definitely along the right track with his leap keys (and someday I'm going to remap some dedicated keys to C-s/C-r/\//?).
