These are commodities added on top; the original VI or VIM do not have all
of these features. If you log in into a standard Unix box, you won't have
that.
Technically you can write shell script that allow you to compile and link
directly from VI, but is more work than expected...it was not made for that
after all.
Not saying that you can't do it; but that it is a pain to do it for big
projects. I use VI all the time for any small project, but try to write
something like a full size application and you can see that is not feasible.
BTW you refer to text editors preference, not IDE, since VI is not an IDE.
I agree that each person choose their own, same goes for the IDE :) For
example I still love DEV C++; does all that I need and I wish that there
was a version for Angstrom...and that's an ancient IDE, but it is
lightweight and decently fast. Most people do not need the ton of features
that big IDE gives you, like VS.

Any person in their right state of mind would not use VI, unless you are
writing short programs (like shell script), or very simple applications.
Renounce to auto correction, color syntax, auto completion, and a ton
more of functionalities, when you are coding millions of lines, is not
different from running win 3.1 on a modern computer :)
As much as I love terminal, there are things that are not feasible
without a good text editor with plenty of functions; without even
mentioning the pros of a real IDE, when you need to debug and such.
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.
