If you're doing web work, primarily python, Wing IDE has great VIM support. It supports custom vim configurations and all of the good stuff. It has a free version, but I threw down some cash (d to get a sweet integrated debugger and test-running capabilities. I found it superior to both Netbeans and pydev on Eclipse, but both of those also support VIM text editing (with plugins). Basically, pretty much every decent python editor I've tried has supported vim either natively or via plugins.

So you're saying that there are people interested in writing code to inject in to the game somehow via telnet that are too lazy to run a decompiler themselves?

Bots were already easy enough to write for a game like this. Go try and start up a conversation with a miner in a low-population high-sec system if you doubt that.
