IDEs With VIM Text Editing Capability?

Posted by timothy on from the one-keybinding-to-rule-them-all dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I am currently looking to move from text editing with vim to a full fledged IDE with gdb integration, integrated command line, etc. Extending VIM with these capabilities is a mortal sin, so I am looking for a linux based GUI IDE. I do not want to give up the efficient text editing capabilities of VIM though. How do I have my cake and eat it too?"

    Because vim is supposed to be nice, lean and fast. Basically, this person wants emacs but doesn't want to admit it because he thinks that emacs is too bloated.

    it ends up being as fast as an IDE and it's much more flexible.

    A modern IDE isn't the same thing as "editor with a single button to build project". It also has things such as code reformatting, refactoring, integrated debugging, code completion...

    Using Vim to edit code today is like using ed to interactively edit text.
