MacVIM as TextMate replacement

TextMate is one of the coolest editors around thanks to its Snippet-feature, ease of extensibility and community support. But more and more I saw myself using VIM instead of TextMate for one reason or another, but mainly because I'm just so used to searching with / and using :s for search-and-replace. And MacVIM helped quite a lot too, thanks to its pretty nice integration into OSX.

Today I tried two plugins for vim that move it pretty close to what TextMate has to offer (not that vim is less powerful than TM or something, but some gems are just too well hidden ;-) ): snippetsEmu for snippets and NERD_tree as a replacement for the project-drawer.

Check out this plugin: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=521 Is exactly what are you searching for

Thank you :-) I'll give it a try today (after some sleep ;-) )

Jamis Buck has come up with a solution to the missing CMD-T feature... http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2008/10/10/coming-home-to-vim

Cheers.
