Ooh! Religious war! ;-)

So what you're saying is ... when paired up with someone who doesn't know
about vim's macros and shortcuts, and doesn't know how to use vim's
built-in reference manual ... Emacs wins? Doesn't sound like a fair fight
to me!

In other words: if you're watching someone doing 30 seconds of laborious
typing with vim, the problem isn't vim.
