I want to know always enjoy the ability to open a Bash instance within Emacs. Does vim have this functionality besides the ability to run commands with :!command?

Well there's `:shell` but I'm not sure how reliable it is ... – glts Nov 30 '12 at 01:31

Yeah. Someone took stuff from that as answer. That is what I am looking for though. – Sam Mercier Nov 30 '12 at 04:30

Conque and Vimshell are very limited, you might as well use :shell
which is very reliable if you use Vim in a terminal.

I run repl all day in vimshell and it works great. Really nice to be able to move text between it and another buffer seamlessly. Wouldn't want to live in vimshell, but for certain tasks it is awesome! – Jeb Jan 08 '15 at 04:49
