I think you can use vim as the default editor if you want

http://externaleditor.netbeans.org/




Well, I meant full vim integration. The code completion looks wonderful. Vim already provides syntax coloring and RoR itself provides svn integration (append -c to script/generate or script/destroy commands).

The only reason I can see to use Netbeans is the great code completion and auto-documentation. (Those are huge reasons, though.)

Edit: Hmm.. "We have been working closely with the owner of Vim and he has incorporated our netbeans integration code into a vim 6.1 patch (patch number 366). Currently these sources are not available in a vim release."

So I'm confused as to whether it does or it doesn't fully integrate with Vim. I'll have to try it after work..


There is a plugin for vi keyboard commands.
