No, you're not. The issue is not that you're trying to use vim as an IDE, it is that you're trying to use vim as Eclipse. Define "IDE". When I use vim as "an IDE", I use things like ctags to jump around files, change things here and there, run :make, etc etc taglist is nice. So are clewn/vimgdb, but not as much as raw gdb. Now, if you want vim to write makefiles and things for you, that's another story. I have a feeling this is what you want - a step to integrate "build these files". Things like Eclipse / Visual Studio have a "files listing" which is used to know which files to compile / embed / whatever. make does this just fine, and better, IMO, but requires you to write a Makefile. I guess I could answer better if you defined what an IDE is to you. I get mixed answers on this when I ask people. In short: you are trying to use vim like tools you are used to. It doesn't work that way. vim is vim. It is not Eclipse.
