There are certain features where this would be problematic. Things such as copy/paste to/from the OS clipboard, and a few extensions that require ruby support (since ruby isn't always available).

Yeah, that's the sort of thing I'm thinking of.

They're things that aren't horrifyingly difficult to setup or remember, but they make it a little more complicated and don't feel straight forward.

They're not things that would keep me from using vim, but for this particular context, they're things that made me decide to just throw ST2 on the vm
