Answer 1

1. ViEmu - Not Free but great Vim emulation.
2. Visual_Studio.vim - Allows you to manage visual studio from Vim.
3. Using GVim as the Visual Studio Editor

Answer 2

After @joe's answer, Jared Parsons created the great VsVim. It's been featured on Visual Studio Gallery. It's a ready extension package. I downloaded it, ran the file and it worked out of the box. It's free, too.

Answer 3

Starting with Visual Studio 2010 you can use VsVim. It's a free extension available on the extension gallery. Source code is hosted on github

Answer 6

Have you tried the gvim OLE package? I have used it with previous versions of Visual Studio and it worked okay.

http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc -- gvim##ole.zip

A GUI version with OLE support. This offers a few extra features, such as integration with Visual Developer Studio. But it uses quite a bit more memory.
