> vimscript is a rather powerful little language worth learning in its own right.

Yes. IMO vimscript is good enough for most tasks that come up. I would also like add that with vim there is also the option of scripting in Perl, Python, Ruby, TCL and mzscheme.

E.g. http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/if_pyth.html#python



(Voted up, but some pedantry: it's Tcl, not TCL, and it's been that way longer than "Federal Express" has been Fedex)
