I've been using vim for 12 years now. And it works pretty good for me as an "IDE". I've written a lot of vimscripts to make vim better do my bidding and made generous use of contributed scripts.
I see no reason to think that I would be more productive using anything else, but that is just me. Along the way, I did use emacs as well and ended doing quite a bit of elisping. Elisp does have the advantage of asynchronously running the interpereter inside of the editor.... Just one thing that I wouldn't mind seeing in vim..... I do find vim a bit more nimble than emacs, but each to his/her own. It's wonderful to have all of the choices. """ They'll take away my vim when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
