Can I use the Arduino language but with vim + command line?

I think the IDE does a very good job at making MCU development accessible to everyone, but I'm more efficient in vim.

Can I use the Arduino programming language but edit source files with vim and compile/flash with the command line? What tools would I need?

You can use http://platformio.org which is supporting ESP8266

There is also https://github.com/plerup/makeEspArduino which allows you to build and flash from the command line using whatever editor you want. Works on Linux, don't know about OSX or Windows.

The recent IDE (1.6.7) uses something called arduino-builder which can be used without the IDE.
It's a separate project in github : https://github.com/arduino/arduino-builder .

It appears to recompile much more than needed, as the IDE did before this change.
