Main use of vim - preparing music scores with mup. Copying scores in is easiest with a spreadsheet, but once that's done it's over to vim to sort it all out Then comes drafting translations or new content for docs - using vim on a portable and writing mml to be finished with FrameMaker once I get home to the desktop. (mml is also the secret weapon for getting clean content out of certain proprietary word-processor formats) Thirdly, tagging plain-text for an .fb2 e-book reader - remembering, gratefully, the colleague who taught me about regex many years ago
My take on the learning curve and the documentation? it's a bit tricky to learn vim _and_ editing at the same time, but if you come to vim because you know what you want to do and you're looking for a competent tool to do it ... my editor of choice. Quibbles? can't find a "run to end of file" for macros; and sometimes have problems with accented characters when I move a file between platforms, though that's not vim's fault.
