Whether they work as reliably depends on the language. Emacs + Slime for Common Lisp is fine. Nowadays there's luckily a lot of editor / IDE independent tools like Jedi, ycmd, eclim which improves the situation for Emacs and Vim considerably.
C++ has always been had issues but for me it's good enough especially since I move between languages and OSes a lot. If I was just doing C# on Windows I would probably use an IDE tuned for it.
- mercurial 12y agoI find that it depends on what kind of languages you work in. Boilerplate-y languages like Java require way too much hand-holding to be nice to do in an editor. On the other hand, Haskell/OCaml in Vim are fairly nice with the right plugins, as long as you don't mind refactoring via sed.
