I use Vim even for ASP.Net (C#) development and Android application development, although recommended tools for these environments are Visual Studio and Eclipse, respectively. Do you use Vim in situations where the most common (recommended) way of development is to use an appropriate IDE?

"I recently started using Git for my local revision control. Since I spend about 90% of my coding time inside the Vim editor, I went looking for a plugin that would make Vim play nice with Git. In this article I present two different vim plugins and explore their feature-set via screenshots."

"[2009-05-12] Vim comes for free. I do ask you to consider helping Vim's charity, please read on. In April I have visited the Kibaale Childrens Centre. You can read my report, with lots of pictures, here. The new clinic has become very popular. Every day many patients come here for medical help that would otherwise not be available to them. The Kibaale clinic saves lives! This popularity comes at a price. We struggle to pay for all the medicine, salaries of the medical staff, maintenance of equipment, etc. Therefore I have set up this page for sponsoring a room in the clinic. We need your help!

"Emacs and Vim both provide facility for extension. But as they represent divergent philosophies — Vim following the “small is beautiful” and “do one thing well” precepts of Unix, Emacs coming from a belief that the editor is an operational hub — they have different objectives here."

Rui - That one is very nice, I'm going to give it a go. My black screen has been hurting my eyes a bit too much due my new office setup.

Great post. Especially the point about search dialogs. I'm not sure why more software doesn't have Vim-like search. Firefox and Safari come close. Eclipse and IE have absolutely dreadful search dialogs. Eclipse is the worst by far IMO.
