Re: Can vim replace eclipse

Use the right tool for a task. If you want to do heavy Java based
refactoring Eclipse or similar might be the best choice.
However even when coding Java Vim may have some advantages in some cases
(eg tags, bookmarks, ...), commit to git (?), macro recording, ..

So it depends on your task.

I found that when knowing a code base very well Vim can be faster. Not
knowing it well debugging and code navigation of IDE's can be better for
browsing and reading code.

However I always use Vim for tasks such as collecting code snippets etc.
