Been there done that. When I switched I wasted a great deal of time turning Vim into a TextMate clone with more than 40 freaking plugins and a miles long vimrc with dozens of insert-mode mappings.
Until I had to use a bare Vim on a remote Linux box. Luckily I knew enough basic stuff to get the job done but boy was it a slow, painful, eye opening and "life changing" experience!
The "life changing" part was of course when I thrashed my ~/.vim directory and wiped out my ~/.vimrc.
Now, I run with 13 or so carefully chosen plugins (which I find too much, some times) and my own sane vimrc where everything has its purpose. And I'm perfectly able to use a bare Vim without breaking a sweat.
