One thing I don't understand, is how do you handle mistakes with the 'unix-as-ide' approach? I was using sed to refactor. Now, I typically use bufdo %s/foo/bar/gc, because it's much more forgiving. It's the same story with a lot of stuff you can ctrl-z for - if you can do it inside vim, it's usually far easier to control and roll back.
