Depends on your configuration.

Standard install of gvim vs standard install of Notepad++ - load speed noticably slower even running on a 10k rpm raptor drive; obviously worse when on a 7200rpm laptop drive.
Not saying vim is a bad editor, but it's not the end-all-be-all perfect tool for everybody.

You can easily make N++ bloated by using too many plug-ins. You can easily keep your Vim tiny and fast by setting the right options (no colors, vi compatibility and stuff). I must confess, however, that I don't have any benchmarks about that. But I'm sure that Vim is the fastest might-be-used-as-an-IDE editor out there.

If there was such a thing, no-one would need any other editor, right? That's the great thing about perfectness: There is always a thing that comes closer to it.

Phew ... I wonder if there is one thing that EmEditor or UltraEdit can but Vim can't ... :-*

Being attractive, usable? :P
Tuxman:
... bloated?
I can't see the attractiveness in dozens of toolbars. I don't even need a single one.

NP++ isn't bloated in the standard install, which is what I'm talking about - and yet it has full syntax highlighting etc.
I wouldn't call gvim bloated either, but fact is that in standard install (with syntax highlighting and the features I want), it loads slower than NP++, and doesn't really offer any advantages for my usage patterns.

Which toolbars? :)

...I could hide menubar, tabbar and statusbar if I wanted to, but I find those useful and I have enough screen real estate for them anyway.
