Anyone use VIM for C64 development?

I've been learning VIM more and more lately and was wondering if anyone here uses it for C64 development?

VS Code is still really good at C64 dev but I have an urge to try using VIM for it. Maybe write some plugins.

Thanks.

I don't develop much, but when I do, I use VIM. Last thing I coded: https://github.com/micheldebree/stayingalive. No particular plugins, only highlighting. Check out the .exrc for some settings and shortcuts. For building I use a Makefile.

Those are cool. Thanks!

I still need to get some more basics down with vim before I ditch VS Code. Trying to build that muscle memory.

Why would anyone sane do such thing to oneself?

I've been using vim for c64 coding since 1998. No plugins though.

The last few years I've started doing a little 6502 in PyCharm using vim keybindings (even found a 6502 syntax plug in), but that's mainly for decrunch routines, so I can have a single environment for writing a cruncher and its 6502 fragments.

I'm not sure such a person exists. I don't know any.

Rumours say there are sane people in Sanity... but that's on Amiga...

I'm actually using VIM with an older kickass syntax highlighting plugin, I wish there was a newer version or I had the knowledge to update it :(
I'm not using any special plugins, just several terminal windows, I wish I had a better workflow than that.
