I primarily am doing Xcode development.
So vim is simply set as my editor, with CoccaVim plugin installed. Xcode manages the builds, etc, but otherwise I'm in vim.
There are plenty of plugins that give you "all a boy could ask for" as far as development resources.
Go through vim tutor for a bit to get the NEXT level of commands down. Once you get used to typing replace commands and moving about by words etc, you'll possibly think it "powerful enough".
