I don't have a specific idea at the moment, but... I've often wondered why emacs seems to have these plugins and modes that make one want to learn emacs, and vim doesn't. For instance, org mode. I don't think there something inherent to emacs that makes a mode like that work better there, and I'd love to see info on how to write plugins like that. In fact, perhaps a simple org mode clone would be a good example project; it would certainly touch a lot of vimscript. |

I think part of the reason emacs has better plugins is that it has real support for talking to external processes, where Vim has a bunch of ugly hacks that barely work.
Emacs users have embraced the "do everything in Emacs" philosophy whereas Vim users tend to use a specific tool for a specific job.
