While I do love vim, its own high level of internal implementation brokenness doesn't really have much bearing on how one implements this sort of thing in a real multi-language IDE.

And as for your question, the answer is ... yes. Sure. Why not? That's what we already do in nearly all IDEs.

I mean, if you want to build a universal system, leaving out vim and emacs is just shooting yourself in the foot.

Are there any plugins which are binary compatible between more than one IDE? That seems hard.

Said no IDE user, ever.
