It is fully featured, light, portable, flexible and productive (after a learning curve). Learining VIM might ease your requirements for coding drastically. E.g. with a small tarball (~300K) you can have a code editor with Syntax Highlite, Code Navigation (Similar to Ctrl+Click in Eclipse), Autocompletion, Code Snippets, Filesystem Tree operations, VCS integration and more. (Of course, you'll get tabs, horizontal/vertical split multi buffer edition, command line interaction, block text selection, regexp based search and replace, and many more nice features from vim itself)
Of course it has a learning curve, but it definately worth it. -- Leonardo Mateo.
