Very useful. Thanks.

Simple, setup. Great word processing, and presentations. Wonderful export options. However, the spreadsheet processing has some room for improvement.

A magnificent work, keep it up! The lack of decent ViM plugins had kept me away from modern Java IDEs for a long time. I switched from plain ViM to NetBeans only when I learned that there's a good ViM plugin around. Now that even :vsplit has been implemented, there's really nothing more that I miss from ViM.

This plugin is the single reason why I chose NetBeans over the other IDE options. It comes the closest to a full-blown embedded Vim and is getting closer with each release.

Very well done. I've always wanted to have a vi based editor in NetBeans. I'm using NetBeans 6.9.1 and the plugin is working as I want it. I'm a longtime vim/gvim user and this feels very natural. The jVi plugin is definitely up to daily production work. The reference website is also well done, making it clear what's different from the usual vim experience. The only significant changes are the added commands to interact with the IDE. The author(s) did an excellent job, making the functionality nearly complete and that goes for the documentation as well (at http://jvi.sourceforge.net/ ), which saved me a lot of time compared to the weak docs that go along with many other plugins. My only suggestion is to add NetBeans plugin installation directions, or add a link to this page: http://wiki.netbeans.org/InstallingAPlugin Although this was written for NetBeans 6.7.1, the procedure is the same for version 6.9.1
