I am a long time vim-only user but certain seemingly random events are
conspiring to change this.

First, the upcoming KDevelop 3.0 (AKA "Gideon") is component based. The
editor by default is kate.. but it doesn't have to be.

Second, they are finally making a decent KDE front-end to vim (kvim).. which
includes a KDE component.

Therefore, after KDevelop 3.0 and KVim are finalized, it will be possible to
use vim as the default editor *embedded* into KDevelop.
