Code editor? Excellent. Let's make a python editor out of it. [1]
Syntax coloring? Check. Proper indentation? Check. Well, almost (backspacing over automatically inserted spaces doesn't seem to remove them in one go). Tab completion? Ch... hmmm. Omni completion is almost there. Almost, because it opens a scratch buffer with documentation. While this is understandable when running in terminal, it looks rather bad in GUI. It also doesn't seem[2] to be aware of local modules. There's some basic support for inspection, in the form of taglist plugin, but - again - separate buffer. And if you want something more IDE-like, ie. integrated debugger - good luck with that.
Don't get me wrong, I like VIM, and it's a fine editor. It's a good, ubiquitous tool. I'm just not exactly convinced that it's a decent programming editor. I've tried to use it as such, with various amount of success. Things probably look different for C, though.
[1] yes, I've read http://blog.dispatched.ch/2009/05/24/vim-as-python-ide/
[2] perhaps it can do this after flipping some option, but I haven't looked at it closer yet.
