They'll move the Vim and then have the epiphany of realizing they where wrong all this time. Hopefully before their left hand becomes this unusable and RSI ridden extension of the rest of thier arm. Being serious, I think it's insulting to mention Notepad++ as a replacement for Emacs instead of a more capable editor! ;)
Maybe it's just me, but N++ seems to have far fewer abilities, extensions, etc than Vim or Emacs; and what's there is buggier and hasn't been fixed in years. It seems to be dying slowly and reluctantly. It's a very basic text editor with a few neat tricks and a lower learning curve, and that's about it.
Try a modern editor. Like vim, emacs, or textmate/e-texteditor, and look into what people have built for them. Then tell me you think N++ is more capable.
edit: bah! misreading sucks. delete that last line. Now I need a time machine :\
That's what I said bro. I'm a Vim user myself (and have been for a year too many) and I think it's the best thing since hot chocolate bread. I just used a semi complicated macro to edit 800 lines of a CVS document, which took me around 3 minutes to record, but saved me hours of work I would have had to spend manually doing most of it in Textmate (which I think is a really good editor, just not in the same league as Vim or Emacs) or any other modern editor for that matter.
As a Vim user I feel compelled to mix a shameless plug for my editor of choice in a conversation every time the topic shows it's head. Anyway, I think you misread my comment. I love Vim and I don't even run Windows (to run Notepad++).
