Hi J.

Possibly a silly question, but if you have emacs and jedit set up and 
working, and if you're happy with them, why bother with vim?  It's just
another text editor and you already have two. Use whatever you're 
comfortable with, and gives you the results you needs. 
(Even MS notepad :-) )

This isn't an anti-vim post since it's my editor of choice... it's a
pro-simplicity post.
