I started using vim about a year ago, by using the janus vim distribution, which was great to get me started. However, I since started again from scratch to know what's there and why. So I won't be using this at all besides for the implicit recommendations of existing plugins (like the_silver_searcher, which is really crazy fast).

Overall, this seems like a great way to get started with vim because it doesn't have too many plugins but it still has the minimum features expected from someone who used Sublime or Textmate.

edit: looking at their .vimrc, there's a lot of stuff that I'll use right away. Definitely useful, just not as a straight download/install for me.
