Is it possible to set up something like this for Vim? I am devoting this summer to learning one editor in depth, and I was thinking of going with Vim because it is on servers everywhere. But I've also chosen to deep dive into python and I love the ipython notebooks, so this could be handy

Stop with this "vim is on server everywhere", only vi is and it's pretty much useless compare to vim outside of text editing. Plus with emacs you edit the server directly from your machine via ssh with tramp, you don't ssh then open emacs on the server

going with Vim because it is on servers everywhere

No it really isn't. At best you can probably rely on vi being on most *nix servers, but vi is not vim. So if that is your reasoning make sure you learn vi and not (only) vim.

Also if you are in a position where you might be dropped into some older and more obscure environments, make sure you have at least a working knowledge of ed.

Although i recently had a huge "woah" effect when i SSH'd into a server and wanted to edit a file using emacs. Turns out emacs recognized my X11 forward and i had a fully functional emacs GUI in front of me! I would never had expected this and also don't know any other editor that does this. :)

In a situation like that, `gvim` would have opened graphically as well. Although, different command to be sure.

Ok.. i ran vim thousands of times but never gvim.

enupten, you appear to be hellbanned (i.e., your comments are auto-killed so that they won't be visible to people other than you unless they have the "showdead" option on).

This appears to have happened about 2 days ago, I would guess because someone regarded your comments about India and/or "Hinduphobia" as inflammatory or over-political. (Which is not the same as being incorrect.)

It is possible that you may be able to get reinstated by contacting the HN admins and (if appropriate) either defending your comments or promising to change.

[EDITED to add: enupten's comment here was perfectly innocuous: s/he was asking for comparisons with TeXmacs which has kinda-IPython-like facilities for embedding an interpreter in a document. I haven't looked hard at either, but my feeling is that this and IPython-in-org-mode are solving rather different problems: nice typography in one, nice interaction in the other.]
