I always hear this and even emacs people reinforce it. Maybe I'm abnormal but I don't do much configuration. My .emacs loads up a few modes specific to certain programming languages I use, that do syntax highlighting and such. There's maybe one or two global keybindings I can type in from memory if I have to, and otherwise I just use the defaults and it's fine.

These are both good points by you and the parent that I never really realized. If you don't 'like' (for lack of a better word) configuration then Vim is definitely the better editor.

I'm indeed the type of guy that carries his config files with him :) (be it on a USB stick, my website, Dropbox, GitHub, etc.)
