IDEs With VIM Text Editing Capability? 193
An anonymous reader writes "I am currently looking to move from text editing with vim to a full fledged IDE with gdb integration, integrated command line, etc. Extending VIM with these capabilities is a mortal sin, so I am looking for a linux based GUI IDE. I do not want to give up the efficient text editing capabilities of VIM though. How do I have my cake and eat it too?"

I don't think VS runs on Linux.

Because, if you allow vim to be extended, it may accidentally become an operating system [wordaligned.org].

Yeah, it's a great operating system. If only it had a decent text editor =)

On the eclipse side, there's also a plugin to embed VIM into Eclipse [vimplugin.org] and even a plugin to embed Eclipse into VIM [eclim.org].
Don't you need Emacs to do that?

Seriously! Why re-invent a wheel just to put it around your old wheel. EMACS already does everything and even comes with a psychotherapist plugin to help you cope with the debilitating side effects of C-x 2 C-x o C-u 25 C-x ^ syndrome.
