In vim, with scrollbind:

  nmap <silent> <Leader>ef	:vsplit<bar>wincmd l<bar>exe "norm! Ljz<c-v><cr>"<cr>:set scb<cr>:wincmd h<cr>:set scb<cr>

It's a nice approximation, but it's also a hack—it doesn't take 'scrolloff' into account, and once you scroll too far in one of the windows they lose synchronisation.

Edit: You can record a macro to do something similar—create a vertical split, switch to it, disable scroll-bind, go forwards one screen, enable scrollbind, then switch to the other window. This doesn't lose synchronisation but it doesn't take 'scrolloff' into account either.

There is also this:

This seems to be a 404 for me.

Is it working for other people?

Yes
