And why would I want to spend years crafting the perfect .vimrc for myself when tools exist that already do 80% of that better and without any configuration?

I say this with a carefully crafted and organized .vim folder.
And I have an .emacs.d folder carefully crafted over 20 years.
Looking at the new features in Emacs 24 I expect my config to shrink even more. I am still on Emacs 23 but will switch when it both shows up on Debian Testing and when my workstation needs a reboot.
If only it were that easy. Programming trends change drastically. What is fashion today, isn't tomorrow. You need tools that survive this for years(In case of vim and Emacs its decades).
I am all ears to hear about the 'tools' that you talk about.
