Since vim integrates with the world and doesn't try to rebuild it in lisp, you can use the google command line client. An example from the docs (from the command line):

google docs edit --title "Shopping list" --editor vim

For Emacs, you can also do essentially the same thing with emacsclient. It opens a new buffer for editing in an existing Emacs session, so config and extensions are already loaded, you can copy content to/from other buffers, etc.

For anyone else wanting to do this on Ubuntu and getting an error about missing gdata.service, you will need to get the following packages:

googlecl_0.9.11-1_all.deb python-gdata_2.0.7-1_i386.deb

Install with: sudo dpkg -i googlecl_0.9.11-1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i python-gdata_2.0.7-1_i386.deb

And then also the python package gdata-2.0.13 install using sudo python setup.py install
