I keep my vimrc and .vim/ in Dropbox (and backed up other places) so I'm pretty much planning on using Vim for the rest of my life... This also means when I had a computer outage and borrowed my wife's MBA without an dev tools aside from what came with OS X, I logged into dropbox, copied my .profile from dropbox and magically had a working, customized Vim on her computer. After a Git clone I was productive in maybe 20 minutes tops. Just imagine trying to do that with visual studio (i've tried, there goes a day).

Er, I've done this with Visual Studio... just export your settings as an XML file, import them in the new install, and of course install VsVim[1], and you're good to go. [1] https://github.com/jaredpar/VsVim https://github.com/jaredpar/VsVim

  Big difference: 1. You have to import/export every time a change is made! 2. Visual Studio takes like 6 hours to install.

I install VS quite a bit, it's not that long at all. More time than sublime et all though, agreed. I usually have it as my "parallel" process while I go clone my repos.
