If it's not VIM it's shit

I've just discovered that VIM is pretty powerful, has numerous IDE-like features, and is extremely customizable. Fuck Emacs, Gedit, Notepad++, Eclipse, Visual Studio, Xcode, etc.

I've been writing software for over a decade and I have used everything listed above but I always thought of VI/VIM as merely a simple line editor. Why didn't anyone tell me about how awesome VIM truly is?

My favorite features of vim would be recording key presses and replaying them (the q and @ commands), and executing a command a specified number of times. Does anyone know off hand if these features are present in emacs, eclipse, or other popular editors? I would be set if others could do it too.
