As someone who used to do this, I can tell you it's not very effective. For example, build systems. I work with a lot of C++ code, and after making changes I used to ctrl-z to the terminal and then `make` manually ... only to get blindsided by lines and lines of error messages, many due to a lot of trivial syntax errors. Using YouCompleteMe may not be very minimal or "Unixy", but having error messages inline with my code and being able to correct them as I work is invaluable. Maybe your experience is different, but I couldn't get it to work for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
