Usually it's the other way around. Incompetent programmers use the big ide's, because they don't know how to run their code without the ide's "play button". I wouldn't recommend vim to a beginner.

Oh I wouldn't say I'm a beginner. I've been scripting and coding for.. 20 something years. I'm just not very skilled. Stuff I write tends to be simple and small, so all I really want from my editor is auto indenting and syntax highlighting.

I think if I was trying to manage a larger project I might find use in an IDE, though perhaps it is more of a crutch.
