Tried the visual mode in vim? <esc>+v at the start, then use any other navigation command to take you to the end. Either yank or delete with

or d. Then paste with p or P. Equally easy methinks.
I didn't know this one. Thanks, since I have to use vim at work; sadly no emacs on our systems there. Vim is really cool -- it's just that I prefer emacs if given a choice.
Btw, this discussion could head to yet another 'vi vs emacs' type
debate.
Nah. Right now it is quite civilised and informative. As it is, I've been a vim user since day 1; but I'm really interested in learning Emacs anyway.
Same here. The side-effect benefit is that you get a lisp environment as a bonus.
Methinks; its a big advantage to know vim; since; by default it'll be
available on most systems.
True, but with nasty terminals/terminal settings, I've seen people curse vi/vim for requiring to hammer the 'i' key a few times to get into insert mode.
