I totally agree that the plugins aren't great. I never was able to leave VIM though. The reason is that it works so well over SSH and I don't like the context switching from VIM to IDE. Also IDE's always end up crashing or lagging at some point. When you're in the coding mindset this can really upset me greatly. What IDE do you use?
