AlexFromBelgiumon The Grammar of Vim

Most of this can be done with Vim already... And the stuff that can't, like graphics, popups... I don't care for. How would you control that sidebar? With the MOUSE O.o !? I like nerdtree exactly because it's a buffer, because I can navigate it like my text. The essence of my comment above is that I want this in my IDE's, not the other way around..

Also: vim has tabs (:tabnew)... And there are search plugins for vim, fuzzy finder being one.

EDIT: But I like your idea of turning Vim into a real IDE, I've been looking into this .. Vim need to "understand" the code. Better omnicomplete, refactoring ...

AlexFromBelgiumon The Grammar of Vim

I am increasingly disappointed in all those Vim 'emulators'. VsVim, jVi, ... They aren't vim, no plugins, no real customizations. I really like that they exist, but it could be better. We need the REAL vim in an IDE, not some vim functionality.. EDIT: I use VsVim and you can disable it with ctrl+shift+F12. This helps when working together with other people..

I keep reading how amazing smalltalk, and it's development environment used to be... Why did we lose it? Was it companies trying to 'dumb down' programming (java..?). Tell me, what happened?
