NetBeans would utterly destroy the competition if the editor could be bound with VIM functionality. In addition, emacs and brief emulation would also be great. Then programmers could use their favorite "hackers editor" within netbeans. There is not a single commercial IDE that has done it and the one that does will gain allot of customers. I really miss VIM emulation when I am in NetBeans. Since VIM is open source, it should provide tons of information for those qualified to do such a port.
