Not sure I see this as a big deal
:s/someVariable/differentVariable/g10
And what happens when "someVariable" is spelled "buffer"?
Sorry, global search and destroy is no substitute for syntax sensitive
replacement.
He,he ... nothing about vim prevents it's doing this. If an IDE is
good at it then the only reason is because the resources were
spent to make it happen. Which is another point. One could argue
that an IDE you pay for has such resources. Basically this takes
us to the classic issues of OSS and free beer.
I like free beer myself.
Sure, but something like Eclipse has also spent the resources to make
this stuff happen.
Community is often as important as code.
Automatic updating of references when you rename a file (ie.
import/include statements and the like)
Yet another script as best I can tell. I do not know if such
a script exists.
Maybe, but the script is built, functional, debugged, and part of the
default install with an IDE.
Full Unicode support
I have not needed this in my editor.
Sorry. I do. This is a deal breaker.
How does this work for compiled code? Or is this simply something
one uses for interpreted code?
I think that Visual Studio does this as well using debugging traps. It
compiles the code in the background and then patches it in during debugging.
From my point of view, IDE's allow more information to be present on my
screen at a simultaneous glance than anything else.
OK. One well informed opinion. I don't see it yet, but
I'm not trying to convince you. Different strokes and all that.
I find Eclipse valuable for Java coding. However, I'm an Emacs user; I
like editors which do lots of assistance.
