Well,

I find my self writing code in VIM via ssh using tmux and works fine. You can do pretty much everything on CLI, so I don't see how this is a substitute for VIM when all you need in order to write VIM/emcas code is a remote (secure) shell.

That said, vim is not an IDE, although many prefer (me included) prefer it over an IDE.
