I haven't seen a vim plugin with refactoring or debugging comparable to IntelliJ or Eclipse yet. Do you know where I could find one?

- matwood 15y agoI don't know if you're being snarky or asking a valid question. Either way, at no point did I say either had all the features of other IDEs. We also never defined IDE. Must they include refactoring and debugging tools to be considered? Debugging, depending on language, can be shelled out to the underlying tools. Refactoring is a hard one even in other modern day IDEs, so to say that vim/emacs are not IDEs because the lack refactoring means a lot of other IDEs also are not IDEs.
- anonymoushn 15y agoI meant it as a question. My normal response to people who want me to use an IDE is to ask what it does that vim does not do, and so far I have found that these two IDEs do these two things (at least, for Scala and Java. I would not expect any IDE to do correct refactoring of Python) that I have not yet made vim do. I'm particularly interested in this right now because I've just moved from a C++ project to a Scala project, which meant moving from vim to an IDE.
