Also, Org-mode, which has markup similar to Markdown (but better), and
can export to a variety of formats (including Beamer and e.g. reveal.js;
unfortunately, there's no ConTeXt support, but adding it is a questions
of a few hours of simple Emacs Lisp hacking).
I heard reports of Vim-ers switching to Emacs because of Org. Turn to
the dark side, we have cookies!!! Bwahahaha!
(Side note: despite jokes, I have a high respect for Vim. Its UI is
plain genius, even if I do not like it personally. The idea of "text
objects" and operations on them is really great. I even use hjkl for
movement when coding in Elisp, using abo-abo's "lispy" package. The
main advantage of Emacs over Vim is not the UI, but the hackability.
Also, E & V have different basic assumptions: Vim is much closer to the
Unix philosophy, while Emacs does a similar thing, but not on the OS
level, but within itself. IOW, Vim is built on top of Unix, and Emacs
largely "replaces" it.)
Best,
