Spacemacs[0] is neat, but I found myself longing for a full-fledged IDE again. It's very extensible however (and so is Vim).

Granted, I am not yet a hardcore Vim user, so I've been trying to get there via using the IdeaVim[1] plugin with whatever JetBrains IDE I happen to be working in. It seems like the best compromise presently.

I may be working in Visual Studio soon, so VS + Resharper + VsVim should be interesting.

Well, I have used IDEs for a big part of my life, but for all my personal projects I tend to end up in (spac)emacs. My personal projects are all written in scheme, and that is probably a big reason why. For work we have a freepascal code base that is a couple of million lines. My biggest personal project is about 20k lines of chicken scheme.

I really miss my home environment when I am editing code, but thinking of navigating such a huge pascal codebase makes me think twice.
