If you actually look at resource usage vim uses within 10% of the resources that emacs does! In terms of flexibility of what you get out of an editor you can't compare what vim will give you compared with how configurable emacs is. I use vi/vim-tiny where I want to change one line in a configuration file, mostly because it is done in the same window as the terminal. However, when I want to have a real editor which is comfortable for extended coding sessions, has no "modes" and which helps me with formatting the code the way I want, I rely on a real editor. Hey, if its good enough for Richard Stallman its good enough for me!
