> An IDE is built to understand code constructs and concepts like the context-sensitive selection I mentioned above. Being able to move a java file and have it update all my imports and packages. Being able to auto import when I start typing a class name. Code templates (eg type "iter" or "itar" in IntelliJ then hit tab when you want to write a loop). You can have the best of both worlds. For example, I use Visual Studio with the VsVim plugin. Visual Studio is my IDE, but vim is my editor.
