neocomplete is also my preferred autocomplete plugin. it integrates very well with all of shougo's other plugins, and it works on windows. YCM officially does not support windows and it's not uncommon for it to be broken for a week or two.

emacs evil does the best emulation. IdeaVim fails at two of the most important emulation tasks: escape and undo.
i used webstorm for a while to do javascript/html, but once i got proficient with vim it wasn't even close. just like how people are going crazy with livereload and how it makes development awesome, that's how i feel with using vim. it does what i tell it to do NOW, not 3 seconds from now.
