As a C/C++/C# developer I can't imagine giving up IDEs for vi. vi is my editor of choice for quickie edits on Linux but for project work it's Eclipse and VS. I've used IDEs since UCSD Pascal but really only recently got convinced they are a real productivity enhancer.
If I ask myself why I use IDEs I can really only come up with Intellisense, if I worked in a language that doesn't allow a high degree of completion, browsing, etc. I could easily go with something simple.
- DennisP 16y agoI plugged viemu into VS, now I've got all the nice IDE stuff but with the vim editing model, which I'm completely addicted to now.
- selectnull 16y agoI agree with you. When I use C#, MonoDevelop (or VS) is my choice. I can barely write a class without an IDE's intellisense. Python or Javascript: I use Vim with joy.
