| Apr 12, 2017 at 13:45 | comment | added | Martin Tournoij | Yes, you've got it :-) It's also very broad, especially as stated now (I count at least five questions. A good question would be something like "How can I integrate a debugger in Vim?" or "How can I autoformat my code?", and so forth (many of these questions have already been asked – and usually answered – by the way). | |
| Apr 12, 2017 at 13:00 | comment | added | uuu | @Carpetsmoker so do i understand you correctly: you think its opinionated, because some people don't need a debugger (like "gdb" for C programming) and are satisfied with "println(VariableName)" debugging? And therefore, those people think vim IS suitable for java development? | |
| Apr 12, 2017 at 12:27 | comment | added | Martin Tournoij | Well, that's a perfectly valid but opinionated statement @toogley, that quite a few would probably disagree with. The point of the Stack Exchange sites is to have specific, narrow, and objectively answerable questions, whereas this is an open-ended, broad, and opinionated question. As I mentioned in my earlier comment, this doesn't mean it's a "bad" question, it's just not the sort of question that this site was built to deal with. | |

| Apr 12, 2017 at 8:12 | comment | added | uuu | @Carpetsmoker therefore i still think my question is valid, although it was poorly written. Therefore, i would like to reopen this question. :) | |
| Apr 12, 2017 at 8:12 | comment | added | uuu | @Carpetsmoker I'm not sure what to do now. Two years after I asked this question, I found a suitable answer. To sum it up: Vim is suitable for professional development if certain tools are available for the usage within vim (a good debugger, autocompletion based on the source which is edited, jumping to a symbol's definition, tools for auto formatting the source based on some coding style definitions). That means, it depends on the language you're editing. C/C++ seems to be very suitable, but java is not, because no good debugger exists. So vim is suitable for developing C/C++ but not java. | |

| Aug 17, 2015 at 15:10 | comment | added | Martin Tournoij | I'm closing this question as 'primarily opinion based'. This doesn't mean this is a bad or invalid question as such, but rather that it doesn't fit this site's format very well. This is a good topic for a debate site, where people can respond to each other and discus various points, which is something you can't really do here because that's not what it was designed for... | |
