you should try to use vimperator/pentadactyl (won't go in the fight
between the two here, enough trolls happening lately).
In both you can either have vi-like edition in a text area using
<C-t> or launch a vim instance using <C-i>. Since I've discovered that,
my life has been greater in all the site I commonly use, from the
markdown-based textarea of stackoverflow or github to the rich text ones
that offer an html source input.

You should definitely try out pandoc, along with the vim-pandoc and
vim-pandoc-syntax extensions. They're life changers. I now write
everything in Markdown, and I wrote a few templates for different Latex
targets (letter, article, report, longer document) as well as a few html
targets (though it's still work in progress).
Then I just set up the Yaml header with the important information to
fill in the template, and then :Pandoc and it's translating to latex,
compiling it and outputting the pdf, or translating to html, or even to
docx, whenever (sadly) needed!
And with that you get folding for free, colourisation that even
colorise the code correctly in code parts, a table of contents using
`:TOC` and so many other great little things...
To that, I can add that I'm using vim-wiki, to browse through my
markdown files, so I can have some org-mode like UI, that also contains
all my very often visited files one gf away, but also browse to my
markdown blog articles, or the different pandoc ready files. Sadly, the
two are not fitting perfectly together, but I might help to get it
better sooner or later.
