Best vim plugins for development

Post by Rui »

Hi guys, I'm trying to make vim into a really nice development editor using plugins and so on. I want scripts that make web development fun, quick and painless. I'm looking for XHTML tags, validators, formatters, CSS color pickers, Javascript and PHP tools, consoles, and anything else cool that you use and love. Besides that, I work with C/C++ and Java too and was looking for stuff that could help increasing productivity and specially fun with those languages.

MessiahAndrew, I thought you were better than this.

He has a point though. Use the best tool for the job, if you want plugins Emacs is what you should be looking at. The entire ethos of vi is to keep everything as simple as will get the job done.

IMHO that comment did not deserve to get >/dev/null'ed.

Just posting "EMACS!" (Andrew) and bashing vim (Shrek) without further explanation (i.e. your explanation) wasn't going to help anybody, so I disagree.
