You can write vim extensions in python, Perl, ruby, lua and of course viml.

And vim launches in milliseconds, so no need to keep it running in the background as some text editing server.

Both true, but since I'm always editing something, I have it open in server mode so I can send a file to it for editing from the terminal.
