That's what I use. With vim's ability to split windows horizontally and 
vertically (and open different buffers in each) and keyword completion, 
along with the nice minibuffer explorer plugin on
vim.sourceforge.net<http://vim.sourceforge.net>,
it's about as close to the perfect IDE that a vi user could ask for.
