Everytime someone writes a post about vim we see these editor wars emerge again and there seems no real solution, as it is mostly "use what works best for you". There are amazing software engineers using vim, and others using Eclipse with Java on Windows like notch or Visual Studio like John Carmack. Use whats you feel comfortable with.

Personally i like the simplicity of vim for editing taks, i could see me writing javascript or any other scripting language with it. But for complex software i definately would miss the abilities of modern IDEs, be it only for refactoring.
