Yea, that's a big reason I use vim too. I do a lot of my work through remote connections and having my trusty editor available with good speed and resumeability where I left off (thanks to gnu screen) is a huge nice thing.

Do you actually write significant amounts of code on remote machines? I'm struggling to find a reason to do that.

I find vim/emacs confusing, so when I do remote text editing over ssh (or on a machine without a GUI) I like to use mcedit. It does still have some weirdness (copy-paste is a little odd), but it's the closest I've found to a GUI-like editor in text mode.

Although if the physical machine I'm on happens to be Linux, I usually prefer to just connect via sshfs and then use whatever GUI-based editor I'd normally use. I love sshfs, I wish Windows had it.

Ops, it seems I confused Mono-D <-> Xamarin. I use Xamarin 4.0.12 with D Plugin from Alexander. I have, besides git, no other Plugins installed.

I use Xamarin for developing on Dgame or Demo/Games for it and Sublime/Notpad++ for smaller files.

+1, I like that!! :)

I'm gonna hafta start saying that from now on, whenever people ask me about IDEs.

Syntax highlighting hurts my eyes. I've been using vim in black-on-white for more than a decade now. (Well, more accurately, black on an almost fully saturated off-white, but that's irrelevant.)

notepad++ on windows.

kate on linux. Though I do *try* to learn vim (as in, be efficient with it, not quite there yet).

I don't write a lot of code remotely aside from the infrequent quickfix on our testing server.  But I do quite a bit of editing of configurations on remote boxes; because vim is installed by default in linux, it's just matter of cloning my vim bundle (https://github.com/jwhear/vim- bundle.git) into my home directory on the remote machine and boom, my full install complete with plugins.

I do. I prefer to keep code in a single place, i.e., on my PC, so when I'm away from my desk (travelling, house-sitting for my mother-in-law, etc.), I use GNU screen over ssh.

Screen, especially, lets me continue the same coding session in the little bits of free time I have here and there (start coding in the morning, pause to get to work, work on work, resume coding during lunch break, get back to work, resume while waiting for long work-related build to finish, go back to work, resume at mother-in-law's house while waiting for people to show up for dinner, pause to have dinner, resume after dinner while waiting for wife to walk the dog, etc.).

One of the most complex algorithms I've ever implemented for a personal project (C++ at the time) was all done over ssh from my mother-in-law's while house-sitting for her.
