I think you're completely ignoring the next generation of hackers, which is unfortunate. I've been working on getting past vim's learning curve for over a year, on and off. True, this submission sucks, but it lead me to find this: http://www.viemu.com/a-why-vi-vim.html, which is pretty informative for a beginner.

I like reading things about various editors now and then, and it certainly serves an educational purpose.

However, this does not require the spamming of "editor" advocacy posts (where "editor" has meant "vim") recently.
