I like getting the best of both worlds. Most IDEs have a vi plugin of varying quality. Netbean's vi plugin has worked excellently for me in the past (http://jvi.sourceforge.net/ http://jvi.sourceforge.net/). I've heard Intellij's is also pretty good. I've found the Eclipse one to be very buggy but still worth using (http://www.viplugin.com/ http://www.viplugin.com/). I've never spent time in the Microsoft developer world but have heard that historically there has even been a commercial plugin available for Visual Studio.
