Hi.

Did you see [http://platypope.org/yada/emacs-demo/](http://platypope.org/yada/emacs-demo/), a demo of  
using emacs for rails application development?

I’m a heavy vim user and want to do the same thing with plugins and  
commands  
available in vim. If any vim user knows some useful plugins for such  
purpose,  
please reply. What I’m considering for the replication of the demo in  
vim  
are  
RProject and SnippetEmu plugins.

Best Regards,  
Minkoo S.

I made a similar screencast showcasing a few plugins, you might find it  
interesting:
