RE: vim suitable for professional software development?

Hey,

Well, it seems that the fear to break my cfg was really reasonless,
especially if i consider that i already use git for my vimrc and can
comment problematic plugins/settings.
But i think for me, its a really good idea to restart in terms of
plugins and clean them a bit.

The point i've asked about the integration of vim and GUI builders is
just i didn't want to know vim someday very good but can't use that
knowledge efficiently, because IDE's like netbeans or eclipse would have
in terms of efficiency beaten the combination of vim and the gui
builder.
But it seems that i won't come around of making my own experiences.

Thanks & regards
