When I first started with vim, I immediately downloaded every possible plugin I ever thought I'd ever use, along with a bunch of complicated scripts that I added to my .vimrc, with hundreds of different options I copied from others' .vimrc files. As I learned vim, I learned to appreciate its simplicity and now keep my config at the minimum possible deviation from default as I can tolerate. My .vimrc is fairly spartan (http://github.com/tomhsx/homedir/blob/master/.vimrc http://github.com/tomhsx/homedir/blob/master/.vimrc) and the only plugins I use are ctags, pyflakes, and shortcuts for F6/F7/F8 to debug/execute python scripts.
