Also I've been disappointed by vim editor. Only Xcode experience I've liked but anyway I've dissatisfied with it also. And only with Emacs I've been satisfied. So please don't tell tales about "modern" approaches of development and how IDEs are good. If you like IDE -- use IDE, but please don't impose you opinion to others. Because "IDE is panacea" is a FALSE. I know many really good C++ libraries developed in Emacs. And personally I happy to Emacs to code in C++. -- // Dmitriy.
