"The Ultimate Vim Configuration" is like saying "The Ultimate Pair of Pants." No matter how hard you try, one size just doesn't fit all. That having been said

  Yes, that's true! I was hoping to introduce some kind of convention, a starting point. Usually vimrc have some similarities I wanted to consolidate what seems common and eventually show how to combine it with some specific elements (a particular programming language or technology)

    I appreciate what you're doing. Whatever you do try not to hinder people learning vim as a core. After installing Janus, I decided that I wasn't learning Vim anymore, I was learning Janus. Getting rid of Janus and MacVim and starting off with a tiny .vimrc allowed me to actually learn Vim. It was the single best thing I did to learn Vim. Since then my .vimrc has grown pretty large (compared to what it was when I started), but it's all mine now. It fits my workflow and it's perfect.

      I partially agree with you, Janus is certainly a bit complicated and may hinder people learning vim. With vimified I wanted to keep the traditional approach but make it more powerful from the start. For example, I will try no to split vimrc into separate files, there should be always only one base file (+ folding). You get the base, a convention, but there will be certainly things to be adjusted on your own along the way. That was the idea...
