We had some impressive Vim stuff happening at Adelaide.rb users-group
this week...

Part 1) First was VIM as your Rails IDE :
Done by David Kim, by a 3-month VIMmer and earlier colleague of mine.
He's picked up a heap of stuff, maybe something new, perhaps even for
experienced guys.

This was interesting:
 * Pentadactyl -- vim plugin for firefox: 
http://dactyl.sourceforge.net/pentadactyl/index
...the appearance and finger feel should be familiar to Vim users.
...web-specific features, such as our ‘Hint’ mode, command
            interface, and key bindings to automatically follow back
            and forward links, make it easy to navigate without
            touching the mouse and give Pentadactyl a habit forming
            nature of its own.

Part 2) Next up was Anthony Richardson, who showed off Pida (very
fast, minimal, python IDE wrapper around Vim), and ruby debugger
integration in Vim.


...then later chatter from linux-sa mailing list, some quite cool
stuff:

* Emacs editor IMPLEMENTED in the browser, just too cool not to
appreciate, even for VIMmers:  http://www.ymacs.org/demo/

* "It's All Text!" Firefox extension which lets you load a textarea
into your favourite editor. Every time you save the file in the editor
it automatically syncs back to the textarea.
(For emacs users, this works nicely using emacsclient as the editor,
and emacs in server mode.)
