Hi. First of all, vim is NOT an IDE, it's a text editor.
An IDE compiles many programs into a big one whereas vim is just a
(powerfull) text editor with many features.
For example, to see all your dirtree, :Sex or :Vex

Keep in mind that vim has built-in functionnalities, you do not need a
plugin for everything !
I once known a way to set breakpoints from within vim. Anyway, in the
same spirit, check :help quickfix. It gives you the errors issued from
compilation and lets you navigate the lines that caused the errors.

> A plugin for the completion of sources codes, for example for functions and vars from libc, for functions and vars from extern lib and from my own sources files.
:help ins-completion | all built-in completion (really powerfull)
:help ctags | generate tags file with ctags -R
| then, :set tags=/path/to/you/tags
:set omnifunc=syntaxcomplete#Complete
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-O> | will complete with tag file and syntax
| specific stuffs.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl_I> | will complete with included files (stdio.h,..)

> A plugin to build/compile a project.
That's what Makefiles are made for :)
:make to invoke makefile from within vim (note that 'make' can be tweak
to launch something else than 'make', like gcc, javac, perl, etc...


Obviously, those "built-in" function are well integrated into big
plugin to make them *prettier* and *easier to use*:
- project.vim
- NERDTree.vim
- BreakPts.vim
- SuperTab.vim
- SnipMate.vim
- ...

There are tons of plugins that do tons of things... BUT I suggest that
you first learn VIM, the editor, the powerfull editor.
Every thing done with a plugin can be done without it, with more or less
pain... But if you find that a task you do frenquently is painfull, you
might tough of creating a function or using a plugin.

Please, try to do stuffs before relying on plugins. Your vim experience
will be better :)
