Why, oh why, do those nutheads use vi?

Oh! I read over the line that says that the author is actually developing a Visual Studio plugin to close exactly this gap.

That's cool. Also puts what I took for condescension in a different light.

Anyone used it? I might consider learning vi bindings decently if I can keep getting all the IDE goodness.

I use cscope as my backend for vim, there are other ways to get your IDE going. Adding a vim emulator would not be as good as just using vim, imho. http://sourceforge.net/projects/vimplugin/ is the vim plugin for Eclipse if you can't live without Eclipse. I can't live without vim, myself ;)

It is absolutely awesome!

A few finer points are missing, but overall I can wholeheartedly recommend it. (missing: put last deletes in number registers)

There is also the free VsVim, though.

I've tried his free trial for ms word and it was pretty good.
