Is there any function providing the functionality of VIM's 'w'
command? It moves forward a word, but places you at the beginning of
the word rather than the end. A good illustration of this (that only
works when words are separated by whitespace) is forward-whitespace.
VIM's equivalent of forward-word is 'e', but it seems emacs has no 'w'?

I would imagine with advice it wouldn't be to difficult to modify
forward-word to do that

Emacs has only C-M-w ;)
(defun vi-forward-word (arg)
(interactive "p")
(cond
((< arg 0)
(forward-word arg))
((> arg 0)
(if (looking-at "\\w")
(setq arg (1+ arg)))
(forward-word arg)
(backward-word))))
-ap

and the kicker:
(global-set-key (kbd "M-F") 'forward-word-beg)
(kbd "M-f") still mapped to forward-word
