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 y 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.
Methinks; its a big advantage to know vim; since; by default it'll be available on most systems. If you're not satisfied or just want to check out emacs; nothing wrong with learning it. I'd say; know both; master one so as to be productive and to not get stuck.
