Anyone here uses vim as an ide? I just read about it and was wondering if that is possible ... And if it really works well ...

question

ide

really works?

    I do. I would research various plugins depending on what you program in that make it a little better. I have various linters, syntax highlighting, and definitely use the nerdtree plugin.

    I do. I use vim+tmux, with the right plugins it can do almost anything. And when i say almost i mean none of this drag and drop design

    Last time I tried, I did get ConqueGDB only half-working, and integrated degugging capabilities are a core feature of IDEs in my opinion

    Vim 8 and Neovim are on a similar level now, but I'd recommend:
    - a plugin manager such as Vundle
    - ALE (Asynchronous Lint Engine)
    - Syntastic
    - nvim-completion-manager
    - Most tpope plugins such as surround.vim, fugitive and rhubarb

    Thanks for sharing so much hints and infos. I'll try them.

    ATM I am struggling a bit with the vim plugin system ... But I just have to dive a bit more into the docs. Till now it more like an try'n'error thing :D

    @Rohr i suggest vundle, its pretty easy to setup and its not hard to make it install on the first vim run on a new machine
