Use right tool. If you notice you slide into textmate/sublime/eclipse - then it means you use right tool.
For me VIM became main tool when I started to work in multi server environment where all access done through SSH. I could use my most favorite GUI editor Kate to edit files of SSH, but it was less effective due upload/download required.
Do not try to force some tool in your workflow. Instead try it for new tasks/projects and see if it fits naturally. I.e. you should be always aware of other existing technologies, but not forced to use these just because some think it is cool.
- Avshalom 15y agoYeah ditto on when I came to vim (also why I leave it almost completely unmodified on my own machines). If you do all your coding on one machine there isn't much difference between emacs/vim/textmate/jedit/sublime and if you do it in mostly one or two languages IDEs are fine. Vim isn't compellingly more useful until its ubiquity becomes compellingly useful.
- pavelkaroukin 15y agoI tend to customize VIM with plugins and .vimrc file. But to keep environment the same everywhere - I am using git with github. Works pretty well.
