Frontends are written in Java, C++ or a similar language.

Sure. Editing JS with Vim works quite well, just a few corner cases that have a problem. Editing HTML is a pain. I hope someone fixes the indent plugin for that. And no, it's not going to be part of core Vim, a plugin should be able to handle it. -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 47.
