Re: VsVim
#2If there's anyone out there comfortable in both the way of vi and the way of Emacs, does this feel better than the Emacs emulation [1]? I'd love to be able to work with text more efficiently in Visual Studio, but the Emacs emulation feels only half way there.

I've seen a lot of arguments about how people don't use IDEs because vim/emacs are better, and I always felt they were misguided. I see the feature sets of vim/emacs and your common IDE as nearly disjoint sets, and I couldn't be happier to see the good parts of the two editors being joined with the power of the IDE.

#5Putting the standard key bindings for vi is one thing, but without being able to customize it like vim, it's almost worthless to me. The custom bindings I have set are there to do common operations, and they become an integral part of my vim.

That's largely my thought. I love Vim, and it's occasionally frustrating when VsVim doesn't cover a corner case; but the functionality of VS with ReSharper means that for .net code I'll put up with it.

It does actually support a limited .vimrc - depends a bit what types of custom bindings you want.

#8It looks like a non-trivial portion of this is F#, so if you're interested in that, it might be worth poking around the github repo.

KDE's Kate editor, and by extension its KDevelop IDE (as it embeds Kate's editor tech), also have fairly capable vim modes.

Isn't Eclim the other way around? I thought it would include features from Eclipse in Vim rather than bringing key Vim keybindings to Eclipse. There are several plugins for the latter though, like Vrapper[0] or ViPlugin[1]. There were also attempts to integrate a whole native Vim instance into eclipse[2].
