Re: vim suitable for professional software development?

Hi,

> You've said " Vim plugins will never be as complete as Eclipse (eg refactoring)." Could you elaborate that point, please?

Eclipse "understands" the java code you write.
That is, if you have 2 variables "i" in different context, Eclipse
know these are 2 different variables that just happend to be named the
same.
Also Eclipse knows or can find all places where "i" (but not the other
"i") is used.
So it's very easy to say 'eclipse, please rename "i" to "j"' and
eclipse will do so, it will find all places where this exact "i" (and
not the other "i") is used.

This would require to implement at least a partial java compiler as a
vim plugin, so it is not practical.
(eclipse in fact implements a java compiler)

A pure editor is limited to find all places where the text "i" is
used, so it would find the 2nd complete different "i" too.

regards,
Stefan
