#32With the development beeing rather slow as it is, wouldn't Vim benefit more from improving the whole community aspect as well as connectivity? I still use Vim, but it is a bit annoying to see well done solutions I've been using for years fall behind new projects (Hello Firebug) that accomplish more in a year than others in 20 years. If Sublime Text was Open Source and the vi mode better I'd switch in an instant. And…

You might but the thing is, Vim has been around for over 20 years and hasn't really lost any steam (and vi for another 20 years on top of that). Sublime has only been around for 5 years and it's closed-source meaning if the development dried up or something, it's a dead project. Vim has a high bus factor since it's only developer is Bram, but at least it's open-source so it can be taken over by someone.

#33Would love a package management solution.
I'm sure you've heard of pathogen, but if not, check it out here: https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen. I've been using it for a while and it's fantastic.

Vundle is what I use.

Not quite sure what you mean - have you tried ScreenSend?

Pathogen—as mentioned—is great, but I've switched to Vundle and find it easier to manage.

Vundle (https://github.com/gmarik/vundle) is good enough for me.

Re: Plans for Vim 7.4
#39I am curious what "add IDE features" means. It seems like a wide-open feature request. A few things I can think of: * Better support for background tasks .. :mak, :grep, system(), :! without interrupting editing. * Fancier errorlist and locationlists. cexpr()/lexpr() really make you fit round pegs into square holes. * Better omni-completion performance (any completion dialogs other than , buffer keyword completion, a…
If you code C#, OmniSharp is quite awesome:

Real intellisense, find usage, refactor, etc.

#40Just because people who follow the vim google group want more ide features and python integration doesn't mean thats what most vim users want. Why don't they fix the obvious flaw, mouse integration? (I know, because it would be hard)
Wait, what? Since when does being in the google group let you vote? I thought you had to be a paying customer/sponsor to vote.
