Im curious as to how he's using vim + ensime. I've been trying off and on for the last 2 years to figure out a good workflow using ensime but i typically end up just turning it off after a few days. EnType only works for me when its completely obvious. EnImport seems kind of useless. After these 2, i just give up, tbh.

Still, I wont give up my text editor :) Any emacs folk like to comment on its usefulness? Its seems more fully implemented there.



I've been using vim + ensime for a while.

- EnType is slow and only works when obvious

- EnImport ... never worked for me, but I'd _love_ it! Perhaps there's something I'm missing. How do you add imports?

- The automatic typechecker sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Shows unused imports which is somewhat neat.

However, ensime's killer feature for me is fully contextual completion with <C-x><C-o> - works great and is supremely useful.
