I installed VIM and everything works fine. However, I want to use the existing compiler to write code in VIM. How can I work around on this. Please note that I'm doing this all in Windows

CPallini 24-Oct-12 3:20am

Vim is the editor. To run the compiler you have to invoke CL.exe from the command line (you may use NMAKE as well, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f35ctcxw.aspx).
However you may also Visual Studio editor for the job. Visual Studio is not that bad, after all.

Agreed, I'm using the visual studio for long. Now I want to make my life bit difficult. :)

Windows? Linux? Does it need code completion? What is important to you? This would all be personal taste. Check out this link and see if you can find something you like.
