I'm not a vi defender at all (its keys are counter-intuitive to me), but it
seems that you don't know vi well enough. It has completion and templates, it
has everything you'd need from an IDE (w/ a bit of extending/customizing/etc).
Here at work, some of my colleagues are using it 'like' an IDE or at least the
central point for development, and those guyz are not the worst programmers
I know :-). FYI the company I'm working with is about developing IDEs and vi
has never been rejected from a feature point of view (but from a UI one, it
might).

BTW, did anyone talk about Eclipse here?

And for what it worth, nedit+mrxvt+mc+gcc+gdb is the toolchain I use for
years. Please think about defining what's an IDE, at least define what's
Integrated.


Regards,
