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?"

      Yeah, it's a great operating system. If only it had a decent text editor =)

    I don't think VS runs on Linux.

    It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?

    Because, if you allow vim to be extended, it may accidentally become an operating system.

    That is all.

    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?

    Seriously! Why re-invent a wheel just to put it around your old wheel. EMACS already does everything and even comes with a psychotherapist plugin to help you cope with the debilitating side effects of C-x 2 C-x o C-u 25 C-x ^ syndrome.
