I finally installed Vim 7. I also took the time to install various plugins. Here are some things that are making me happy:
- Honest to goodness, real tabs.
- Auto-completion and built-in documentation lookup for many different programming languages.
- Editing files and browsing directories remotely over scp works.
- Subversion integration via the vcscommand plugin is helpful.
- Vim is still charityware which makes me proud to use it.
- It supports a ton of languages by default.
- It does well with files that mix languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- It doesn't get confused by Python strings such as
"""He said, "hi"!"""
;)

Congrats on the launch.
Any more info on Vim? What plugins are you using? I'm learning python and returning to vi(m) after a long absence. It would be great if there was a plugin that could 'auto' fold.
My eyes are telling me to buy a hardcopy version of a vim manual. I wonder if there are any plans to update it, or can you point to any good sources of info?
Cheers, John
Would you point me some link/blog that teach people using these features?
