Well, last time I checked vim  has (even in text mode): 

Color syntax (and syntax checking when doing save) :  
https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic  
Auto Completion and more: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=213
When I compile it can place me on the file and on the line where the error is...

And the "colorized" syntax works on ssh connections, and you can have multiple 
windows in text mode  with just one ssh connection with tmux:   
http://tmux.sourceforge.net

It may not be a tool for everybody, editor and IDEs are alms a religious issue, 
and b=should be left to the individual taste, but vi (vim)  is more powerful 
than it looks.
