I'm curious to see how hyperlinks and capture might work in a vim

Matt -- Regarding the hyperlinks there's a Vim plugin that already
seems to have pretty complete hyperlinking functionality. Just put
it in your plugin folder and you're good to go with it. You
can find it here:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=293
I haven't done any checking to see what needs to be done to make
it compatible with Org-mode hyperlinking markup. I don't think it
should be too bad.
The syntax does indeed seem similar at points:

At least before 'conceal text' was available in Vim73 I don't
think there's any good way to hide link details and have just
the link text appear in the document. I haven't used Vim73
or looked at conceal text much, but it seems that feature
might make it possible to closely replicate the way
Emacs does things. I'd be happy to hear suggestions from
people who know more about this. . .
This is a very interesting development in Vim. I remember that the
ability to hide text (in Org-mode and auctex) was one of the things
that
drew me to Emacs in the first place.
I think there are some other existing Vim plugins that can
be made use of. There's a footnoting plugin that I want
to look into adopting at some point.
Also, I have done
nothing at all to implement any of Org's table editing
functionality. This is pretty much independent of Org
itself, and I was hoping there was an existing Vim plugin
that would be somewhere along lines of what's in Org,
but I haven't found anything close yet.
I'd agree. I remember wishing for a self-aligning table editor in Vim
(let alone a spreadsheet). Then again, it took Carsten's genius to
bring
that particular bit of magic to Emacs, so who knows what is possible
in
Vim. The Vim/Unix philosophy (which I admire just as much as I admire
the all-in-one "second OS" philosophy behind Emacs) seems to be that
such things are better handled by external programs
