Honestly I like to think that Vim is just a set of neat shortcuts that I can apply with one plugin to my favorite IDE or text editor(with various degrees of success of course). But trying to use Vim as a full IDE it seems like waste of time to me. With a decent modern laptop no IDE feels "slow" or "clunky", not to mention text editors are already pretty fast, and you get out of the box wonderful features with a wonderful GUI (don't be scared of using a mouse sometimes folks)
Either way, that's my opinion, and the article was actually nice if someone wants to use Vim that way, well done mate!

Thanks man :) What I like in vim is that you can build it yourself and configure for your needs. But yeah, sometimes an IDE can save a lot of time!
