While I certainly agree with (a), I'm at the other end of the
spectrum on (b). One of the things I like most about vi/vim/gvim
is that I have it on all my *nix boxes by default (whether vim on
Linux and Mac, or nvi on OpenBSD if I haven't yet installed vim)
and have installed it on my Win32 boxes...it behaves (mostly) the
same everywhere out-of-the-box without any tweaks. It might be a
rarity as lots of folks on the list have tricked-out configs, but
other people have told similar tales[1]. The cost of losing a
config or keeping it in sync across umpteen boxes is more hassle
than it's worth to me.
Just my $0.02 on it. (and to answer your initial question, I use
Vim for all my text editing, whether code, HTML/CSS, or just
plain vanilla text-files like to-do lists and emails)
