I'm thinking the more I get to know Vim and the available plugins, the |
| 12 |
more it becomes like an IDE to me. I guess the same is true for Emacs. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
My advice would be to take on of those or any other open IDE and learn |
| 15 |
and extend them to the point that it's perfect for you. |
| 16 |

Now for your feature requirements list I'm going to concentrate on Vim |
| 19 |
and Emacs as those two are the ones I know. |

Both Vim and Emacs can do these basic features. |
| 30 |
Vim even provides a mechanism for saving and restoring editing sessions. |

Haven't tried it yet, but for Vim word_complete.vim[1] seems to be what |
| 37 |
you're looking for. You should also have a look at Omnicompletion. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
As Emacs has hooks for nearly everything it should be doable with it as |
| 40 |
well. |

Don't know about that but it would be nice to have simpler project |
| 46 |
specific settings for Emacs/Vim. |

That's pretty much ctags/etags, maybe cscope. |

You can put the following in ~/.vimrc: |
| 57 |
autocmd BufEnter ~/path/to/project/* set makeprg=scons |
| 58 |

Vim does it[2]; Emacs seems to have some kind of FoldingMode according |
| 63 |
to Google. |

Both of them are very customisable in this regard. |

|
| 75 |
Emacs features gdb integration and there's Clewn[3] for GVim. |
| 76 |
As for me, I'm rather using a separate screen[4] window in the same session. |
