I remarked to a friend a couple months ago--right when I started to feel about the same way as the author of this article--that I love vim.

As I said these words, I realized that the truth in them is sort of startling. I love vim.

No, it's not like loving a person, but it's at least as strong an emotional connection as loving my favorite coffee mug or loving a particularly thoughtful gift from a friend.

As an aside, I often find vim verbs and commands sprinkled throughout things I write in other text editors. :wq

The worst thing for me is editing an Excel sheet. Every time I have finished typing something in a cell, I hit ESC, which results in clearing what I have just written...

Sadly the ViEMU author decided not to do Excel (and doens't plan too). But, for Word, Outlook, Visual Studio, ViEMU does a semi-decent job.

That's the worst part of it, I'll find myself typing :w in other editors as I switch back and forth between vim and, say, xcode.
