I have just finished writing a small article, which describes how to configure Vim text editor to look, feel, and perform more like an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). I beleive that it will be interesting and helpful for some people, therefor I am posting a link here:

Please, don't start any editor flame wars around it. :)

PS: Big thanks go to Limbic~Region and other CBers who were providing feedback while the article was in draft. :)
