What Hacker News says?
Great article on this very point: "Build an IDE with tmux and vim"-- http://alexyoung.org/2011/12/19/build-an-ide-with-tmux-and-v... . The money quote: The difference between this approach and a traditional IDE is this interface adapts around my current task, and is only limited by the thousands of commands and scripting languages that I have installed.
