Do I really need to use SLIME for Lisp programming? (alien.top)

I have been wanting to program in lisp for a good while, but I do not enjoy using Emacs, and Slimv and Vlime haven't functioned. So, would having Vim in one terminal editing a file and then a REPL in another work?

It is difficult to find good demonstration videos. Here is another:

Emacs with Elisp btw. is working alike. So you could experience that "Lisp experience" yourself easily, just by modifying Emacs itself. You can change ca. 99% of it on the fly, redefine whole parts of its functionality without need to restart Emacs. Sometimes that's not realized. Together with edebug, its good in-code documented functions and introspectibility it is a nice programming experience. Sometimes I miss that tight integration with Common Lisp.
