As added advice, I'd suggest checking out VimGdb ( http://clewn.sourceforge.net/), or clewn itself. One of my major gripes with using vim for C/C++ programming was the lack of decent debugger support, in my opinion an absolute necessity when you're doing manual memory management, working at a generally lower level in regards to the hardware. Last time I checked out Quanta was about a year ago, it had certainly improved, but it still wasn't "Visual Studio for Linux". Same with KDevelop, although it seems slightly more polished than Quanta. And I absolutely detest Eclipse. There are other vim / gdb integration scripts / plugins out there, but I've been impressed with VimGdb so far, and I've been using it for about a month at the new job. Cheers!
