I use XVim and I love it, it's decent enough and I would be editing very slowly in Xcode without it.

Things I wish it would have:

1. ge and gE

2. Marks like ``

3. Changelists so I can g; and g,

4. Visual block replace.

5. Something like the surround.vim plugin to surround blocks of text.

The one thing I absolutely love is the keybindings support so I can map something like <leader>f to Open Files (a fuzzy finding tool that comes with Xcode).

Or my favorite, <leader>d to Look up documentation under the cursor. No more option+clicking with your mouse! (Useful for Swift to check what type the compiler has inferred)

Here's a link to my ~/.xvimrc if anyone wants more:
