      Give Qt Creator a shot - it has a "fake vi" mode for the editor and you gain the additional goodies like refactoring, inline help, jump to definition/declaration, code completion and the like and just calls qmake and make under the hoods. It's really worth a try!

          You can have the shortcuts of vi or emacs inside QtCreator.

            This is what Volker meant with his last post?

                Stavros, "fake vi" mode means the editor has key bindings (navigation, insert, delete, etc.) like the famous vi editor.

                    Qt Creator for Qt development and Eclipse for Java (just for university courses since I don't like java at all). Compilers are GCC on both linux and Windows

                      Similar here - vim, cmake and make (adg gdb naturally).

                      As for IDEs, MSVS never agreed with my stomach. Borland tools were ok a long time ago, but rather obsolete today.

                      The only time when I deviate from Vim is when I want to test the new versions of QtCreator, KDevelop or NetBeans (with nbVi plugin), but still couldn't make any of them my main solution.

                      For me, KDevelop is main contestant to the throne at the moment.
