  <Slight_Hyperbole>Them's fighting words son! I consider vim to be

  Seriously, I used emacs for years, and at the same time as I was
  using vim. Choosing one over the other was my preference. (I miss
  comint-mode) But Chris, when you say: "Are there still...." you
  are suggesting that vim is somehow antiquated. Nothing could be
  further from the truth.
  
  That's like saying linux is outdated because it started as an
  emulation of an OS (unix) that preceded DOS/Windows
