Proper code completion, correctly jumping to function definitions, and various other features that IDEs generally do well tend to be quite poor in vim. It can do many of them on some level, but for instance, while ctags does give you the ability to jump to function declarations, it does quite poorly in the face of identical variable names across files. There are a number of IDE features that I would love to have and use but vim can't properly pull off. When I have a decent IDE, I'm always torn on whether to use vim or the IDE. vim (well, gvim) generally wins out, but sometimes the extra abilities of the IDE are just too useful. What I'd really like is full-featured IDE with complete and completely remappable vim bindings. - Jonathan M Davis
