Actually, Vim is the next Vim--it only seems to get better and better.
After switching to Vim full-time about two years ago, I recently tackled exporting the text from a 10-year old PDF to markup it up using AsciiDoc[1] so I can output HTML and ePub.
It’s over 37,000 words but I was amazed how easily I was able to jump anywhere on the screen with just a few keystrokes fix all of the little things that need to be fixed in a text file.
And because editing paragraphs of text is somewhat different than what I normally do (writing HTML and CSS), it was pretty cool being able to leverage the composability[2] of Vim and how seamlessly that knowledge works in new contexts.
