    It is better to use Vim/Emacs (Spacemacs ftw!). Real devs however use whatever works best for them.

    Agreed. I use both actually. Android Studio is kept on one monitor. I use it for syntax checking, auto imports, refactoring, etc. I do the real coding in vim on the other monitor (with portrait orientation). It took some effort to get vim to auto-load changes made by android studio, but it works very well now. In the Before Time when Eclipse was the standard for Android dev, I used eclim which eased the pain of Eclipse significantly. Thank goodness those days are over.

    There are easy to use vim plugins for netbeans and eclipse, but they don't get the full power of vim. Quite enough to keep your hands on keyboard most of the time, though.

    Eclim gets the full power of both eclipse and vim, but is kind of difficult to set up. The maintainer Eric is quite responsive, though.

    Have you ever considered using Eclim? It's Eclipse with Vim as the interface (or Vim with Eclipse tools if you prefer).

    "Mortal sin" may not be a good description of the problem. A better one is the second paragraph as http://eclim.org/

    Eclim is less of an application and more of an integration of two great projects. The first, Vim, is arguably one of the best text editors in existence. The second, Eclipse, provides many great tools for development in various languages. Each provides many features that can increase developer productivity, but both still leave something to be desired. Vim lacks native Java support and many of the advanced features available in Eclipse. Eclipse, on the other hand, still requires the use of the mouse for many things, and when compared to Vim, provides a less than ideal interface for editing text.

    On the eclipse side, there's also a plugin to embed VIM into Eclipse and even a plugin to embed Eclipse into VIM.

    Don't you need Emacs to do that?

  6. Eclipse plugins? by HenryKoren · · Score: 1 · on IDEs With VIM Text Editing Capability?

    what about GVIM? (stupid answer)

    Here are some VIM eclipse plugins:

    http://vimplugin.org/
    http://eclim.org/

    Though I tend not to like these since the native plugins for whatever you might be developing inside eclipse tend to be more complete.
