I can't imagine giving up all the code editing features of IntelliJ for any generic text editor though. All that java and XML without code completion and refactoring is just too horrible to contemplate. If you're determined to go that route then why not just ditch the IDE entirely and do everything from the command line?
- kgarten 14y agoMacVim has good code-completing and most of the advanced features out of the box, if you use YADR or similar ( https://github.com/skwp/dotfiles https://github.com/skwp/dotfiles ). I like to have the same environment regardless which language I'm using ( objective-c, python, java ... latex, html). I usually use Xcode/IntelliJ for refactoring and some more advanced functionality.
- cageface 14y agoI think this is one of the reasons I always shied away from Vim. I can use my basic Emacs muscle memory in almost any text editing environment. But I'm sure you can brew up a pretty powerful Vim environment too with a little legwork.
