Who is this for? While I appreciate the effort and attention to detail that was put into this, I don't think this is really useful to anyone as it is intended. For a new or novice Vim user, this kind of thing is too much at once and could actually be harmful. To properly learn, you need to start using things one at a time until they are internalized. Only then should you move on to the next new plugin or set of mappings. Including too many plugins at once is harmful because users will become complacent and won't end up using most of what they have there. For experienced users, you can't just throw away all your existing stuff and replace it with a bunch of stuff someone else has chosen. You would certainly encounter unexpected changes in behavior and conflicting maps or plugins. That said, it is always great and useful to look through other people's dotfiles, and to selectively use pieces and ideas from them. I did see some things that look interesting to me, so I'll take those and work them into my environment. This is a great effort, but it would be better to find ways of teaching new tools incrementally, not just saying "Here's all this great stuff I use. It's the best so you should use it too. Just download my dotfiles and you'll be all set."
