yavide: modern C C++ IDE over vim

vim has numerous plugins for developers and when combined together it becomes far more powerful than any IDE out there. The additional advantage is the resource consumption, it’s minimal when compared to Eclipse or NetBeans and the likes of those. This also makes a vim based IDE ideal for remote programming. yavide is a new project that takes these vim plugins seriously and tries to package everything together. It also aims to provide some features not available in any other IDE. In its current status (at the time of writing), yavide looks like the next step from spf13-vim. yavide is still in the development phase and yet to see its first release at the time of writing. However, the author is working on missing and requested features.

Features

• Bundled and tweaked for C/C++ (support for Python & Java planned)
• Project management & Project explorer
• Class browser with overview of symbols defined in current unit (i.e. macro, struct, class, method, namespace, etc.)
• Source code auto-completion (real C/C++ compiler back-end for correctness)
• Source code navigation (fully automated background tag generation system to ensure the best UI experience)
• Source code static analysis
• Source code management client integration (git integrated)
• Build tools (make integrated)
• Custom keybinds for various operations
• Miscellaneous:
