I use vim externally too because though I've paid a couple of times for
viplugin over the years, it only imparts a very cosmetic vi orientation
to the Eclipse editor.
I've used vi then vim for over 30 years now. It's very hard to give up
the power for the "beginners" editors offered by Eclipse, VS, and other
IDEs I've tried out over the years.
I once tried eclim (eclim.org) and it overcame most of the problems the
viplugin doesn't begin to touch, but it does make you jump through hoops
for the equivalent of Eclipse Content Assist. And it sort of takes over
Eclipse a bit too much for my taste.
I personally continue to use vim for serious, heavy editing where I want
to be in control, don't want my wings clipped by the Eclipse editor and
I don't need Content Assist. I switch back to Eclipse when I do want
help that way. (I'm lame: I should investigate sharpening the saw, but
I've got lots of screen real estate to burn and I've spent years
juggling things this way.)
Check out eclim.org; it may be a good solution for you.
