> Would you also recommend vim for working on large projects with 100+ files? I believe in this case, a full on IDE is suited better. I do that now. IMO, it depends on the language. For C#, nothing beats Visual Studio. For all of its warts, the autocomplete, go-to-def, and debugging just work too well. I do use a Vim plugin in it. It's missing some features that full Vim has, but the other advantages make up for it. For Ruby, Python, etc, I think pure Vim wins, including with large projects. I know it's possible to get autocomplete support in Vim, but never found it to be worth the trouble for those languages. No issue in handling a bunch of files with Nerdtree and CtrlP. I think the terminal is better for actually running the program and related tasks than any IDE environment I've tried. Especially with Tmux to spin up new windows easily and switch between them, all without ever leaving the keyboard. It is true that vim installs tend to be highly configured. IME, the bone-stock Vim on servers is easy enough to live with for the purpose of editing a couple of config files. Wouldn't be thrilled to use it on a large project though.
