Actually and to my surprise, vim is missing very little to be usable in
connection with an IDE. I plan to propose patches for the parts that
could help further. Those will be very small patches because everything
is already there in vim. No need to wait for 8.0 .
The netbean stuff is really not netbean related but a socket interface
to control vim from a remote program. If that remote program is an IDE,
you have what you want.
My plan is to get a generic python vim-remote-controller as a first
milestone, and then get the same things in other frameworks: gtk, Qt,
MFC, whatever...
I'll keep this list (and yzis list) updated about it.
