Wonderful project, it seems I'm not the only one who was reluctant to switch to Emacs just for org-mode.

I'm at home with vim (10+ years + a finely tuned and pimped up ~/.vim/) and have used vimoutliner a lot, but it goes in the opposite way for me: org-mode is one of the reasons I'm considering giving emacs another chance :)

I left vim for emacs solely because of how much nicer emacs lisp is than scripting stuff in vim: https://github.com/hsitz/VimOrganizer/blob/master/ftplugin/o....

With the introduction of additional data structures (lists, dictionaries that can also be used for prototype-based programming) in vim7, I don't think vimscript is that bad. And you can also use python/ruby/perl/tcl/scheme/lua/whatever when you have the proper version of vim.

Don't think that goes well in a text editor...

Also, how will I keep joking about emacs bloat?

I'm glad it's improving.

Whilst being able to script vim with lots of different languages is great, it's a shame it's not just one, since nobody really wants some hybrid beast linked against 6 different interpreters just to run a few scripts in one's editor.

I agree that vim scripting is crap but hjkl for navigation is just so addictive

Very true. I find the emacs shortcuts nicer on command lines though. I find the modality is too much of an overhead there.

When I was looking for a vim-orgmode, I found viki/deplate :

I found it quite confusing but it seems to take much inspiration from org-mode, is mature, and integrates with TVO (the vim outliner).
