I use vim as my editor of choice <sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup>. Both cscope and ctags (integrated into vim), allow me to quickly move between files and lookup definitions of symbols, and help in understanding the challenge-du-jour.</p> <p>Throw in fuzzy find capabilities of the most awesome <a href="https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim">Ctrl+p plugin</a>, and vim becomes the best &lsquo;IDE&rsquo; out there!</p>
