flymake is built in and runs regularly in the background (if activated), your vim example apparently only when saving.

Komodo has this feature activated by default.

Most VIM users I know combine VIM as lean solution (bike) with other heavy IDEs like Komodo or Eclipse (trucks), learning emacs spared me the time to learn multiple tools.

The main argument for sticking with VIM is the good design of key-commands which is deeply embedded in "muscle memory". This is addressed by evil-mode.

So if you ask why ("WTF") you always ignored that feature, the answer might be that you are far too VIM centric and avoiding to look at other tools.

For comparison: Looking at JS, Ruby, TCL and Python made me a better Perl programmer.
