My colleague edits OCaml code with vim (in fact we share it -- I edit the same code with emacs) and he seems to like it. One advantage of vim is that it comes with a good OCaml mode built in. The OCaml mode that ships with emacs is pretty horrible compared to tuareg-mode, which you have to install separately (albeit just a apt-get/yum install away). Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat
