If you are only conscious about auto complete in vim then its okay. On youtube i saw many people showing there vim working like charm for every single need to write code even for large projects.

This guy is great :) Citing: "you will be more productive, you'll just be covered in coconut oil for the rest of you life" youtube.com/watch?v=-I1b8BINyEw :D

However after 6 years of using VIM as a main text editor (not IDE) I'm roughly at 30% of his speed. It's a thing to consider. Once you'll not be able to use VIM though a whole day of coding like I can't with Java- the productivity benefit will not be that clear.
