If I were to write an article on how increase productive with Vim I wouldn't focus on its plugins (after all many other editors/IDEs have great plugins). The power of Vim relies in its multi-modal editing. It requires time to get used to it but... once you're comfortable switching between modes it quickly pays off in productivity. I think the text editor is the most important tool of a developer and Vim outperforms any non-modal editor. My thoughts on Vim are summarized in this quote by Abraham Lincoln: "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax."
