Hey,
I'm finding the web IDE really difficult to work with. I'm used to my vim set up, nerdy as it may be – so, what's the best way for me to develop inside vim on my laptop (connected to the Bela via USB) and then push the code to be run?

Developing without web IDE
I always use vim on the board and compile with make -C ~/Bela PROJECT=projectname run CL="-p16". In fact this is (almost) exactly what the IDE does under the hood.
Add more command line options for the running program under CL="..."

Sorry to revive an old thread. For any other vim users, this still works with the latest version of Bela with the stock vim.
To bind the compile and run command to a key, use the commands in this gist
Now you can cd into a project (e.g. cd Bela/projects/sine-generator), open the render.cpp file and hit leader (usually \) followed by r to compile and run the file directly from vim. Use ctrl+c to kill the sound when you're done and then enter to get back to vim. The fnamemodify part of the command above uses the name of the current folder as the project name so it should work for anything in the projects folder.
I use vim but I always have a split terminal open so I build in a separate terminal and I like this workflow. On the other hand, it'd be nice to have syntax checking after every save and then error highlighting within vim. I have seen it elsewhere but I am not sure how that works.

as a vim user myself I'd really like to jump on this bandwagon! But I'm having trouble configuring vim as I can't seem to get curl to work:
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: raw.githubusercontent.com
Any ideas why this would be happening?
is your board connected to the internet? https://learn.bela.io/using-bela/bela-techniques/connecting-to-wifi/
that was it! Thanks

I've got vim running nicely with vim-plugged, but I'm trying to get vim-coc: https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim working for code completion and error checking. It requires node 14. I noticed that node v8.17.0 is installed by default, so I know it's possible, but I'm not sure which installer or package manager to use as I am unfamiliar with Xenomai. Any ideas?

You can install node 14 as well, if you wanted to. Try using nvm if needed to manage multiple versions of node on the board, or just do an update and hope for the best :-).
giuliomoro ahh forgot nvm is just curl and not package manager. thanks
I should say we have been running the ide and scope mostly successfully on much more recent version of node, so you're probably safe to upgrade to 14
