Vim when you're learning feels like this.

Vim when you're using it with 3-5 buffers, some specialized, on screen with lots of plugins feels just like an ide or something like Sublime Text 2

Vim keybindings in Sublime Text 2 or Visual studio/outlook/word via ViEmu is pretty good in my experience.

Sublime Text with vim bindings coupled with zen coding plugin was pretty good for me when coding html/css, till the zen coding plugin appeared for vim.

Now vim has everything I need for coding html/css. To me vim just makes everything better from my experience, it made me more efficient, more faster at coding. Visual Studio with vim key bindings made me love the VS IDE as well haha.

I haven't been using it very long, but the vibrant plugin community (make sure you get BOTH vim plugins) and intelligent shortcuts make it feel like a winner.
