Yeah, some of us still listen to vinyl and tube radios.
Unfortunately all the ides I tried make it non trivial to write extensions. I program nearly 9 hours a day and using a tool that prevents automation of common tasks is suboptimal.
On my case, they provide all the necessary automation features I care about.
Out of curiosity which Language and IDE do you use?
Surely people using vim/emacs for serious C++ work are going to at least have ctags, and probably something like YouCompleteMe?
I use emacs with rtags.
To clarify, with plugins such as ctags, rtags and YouCompleteMe. I would never be able to write large C++ programs in vanilla vim. Maaaybe plain C, but definitely not C++.
