Under *nix, because 99% of all dev related utilities are centered round
command-line use and specifically developed for being used in shell
scripts and through pipes and stream redirection, Vim is the ideal tool
to connect all those disparate tools (diff/patch, make, yacc, gcc, gdb,
etc. etc....the list is endless) hiding the fact that it hardly contains
any functions itself apart from being just about the best editor in the
world. On Windows, seemingly obvious things like mapping stdout/stderr
of each commmand called in your build cycle to separate buffers in order
of occurence is a chore rather than a simple fix and at a lot harder
when working with DOS-commandline or graphically oriented utilities.
The fact you mention you can use it from Visual Studio is exactly my
point: Vim on Win is not an IDE, just a pretty good editor while on *nix
it still isn't an IDE but blends into the rest of the OS so well you
hardly notice ;-)
