Hi Monks

I started using gVim on Windows to write some sys admin type Perl scripts that could be from a few to about 200+ lines. I was earlier using Komodo Edit. While I really like gVim, the more I try to add stuff like neocomplete/syntastic, the slower/quirckier it becomes. Using PerlCritic throws ups wierd errors in gVim. I've spent weeks trying to fix it, but now it's at a point where I'm fighting more with the plugins than using it for writing scripts. Is there anyone here who uses something like KomodoEdit or similar? Do you think using Vim (or Emacs perhaps) actually makes you a better Perl Programmer? Can one still use an IDE and be a good Perl Programmer? Apologies if my question appears superfluous, but would be thankful if you folks could answer.
