So just using AE would slow down some of the more simple tasks that you'd otherwise do in a traditional NLE. I'd highly recommend making use of Adobe's bridge features and/or simply making a clean cut in Premiere and then importing the Premiere project file into AE. As AE will read it as a composition with all your cut and layers intact. Thus avoiding the tedious stuff that AE isn't meant for and picking up right where you left off from Premiere.

Bridge and Importing like this vastly increases productivity. So while strictly AE editing isn't out of the realm of possibilities, I'd recommend against it if you have the option to use methods stated above.
This.

As for videos created using only AE. The first one which comes to mind would be this one.

I'd also like to add. That I have indeed tried to produce videos using AE only. Though, only to end up with short video segments (betas) and the like.
So as far as it goes for me, I can put together segments using the program, but as far as properly putting things together in cases such as montages or just long-term editing goes, I'll keep myself to using Sony Vegas/Adobe Premier.

Didnt know you also had Premiere.

For me I have been able to complete a full amv in AE, but whether it's me or in AE it takes me more time to think carefully about the making, compared to Sony Vegas where I make amvs in a quick way
