What I really want, and would pay for, is a TextMate or IDE-like interface wrapped around Vim. The current plugins - e.g. NERDTree - are appreciated, but they lack the features, ease-of-use, and consistency of a purpose-built IDE.
I've used various Vim emulators inside IDEs and they're just not the same as the real thing. If you know Vim well, you end up "typing on eggshells", where every keystroke might cause some unexpected chaos. So it needs to be the real thing.
- mdwrigh2 15y agoI wanted something like the TextMate project drawer wrapped around VIM for a long time, until I started using Command-T + ctags. I can't think of the last time I've really wanted IDE features wrapped around VIM since then (except for special cases, like visually building Android UIs in Eclipse - but even then, I don't really want that to be part of VIM).
- Derbasti 15y agoCheck out Project.tar.gz That plugin alone has changed the game for me. What a marvelous little thing.
- sheff 15y agoIf you use Textmate and basically miss the project drawer in Vim, there is a version of MacVim which has that integrated ( see https://github.com/alloy/macvim/wiki/Screenshots https://github.com/alloy/macvim/wiki/Screenshots ) . There is also Vico ( http://www.vicoapp.com/ http://www.vicoapp.com/ ) which is a new Mac text editor with vi bindings, and well worth taking a look at.
- shadowfiend 15y ago+1 for Vico. It's basically all I use at this point. It's still getting started, but I'm fully productive in it at this point, and have already written a couple of plugins for it. Caveat emptor: it works with TM bundles, but cannot do vim plugins.
