I am generally not a fan of extensively customizing my tools or work environment. If the benefit isn’t significant, I’m not going to spend my time monkeying around with settings and configuration files and screens of options: they get in the way of actually being productive. vim is one of those tools that’s so useful to my workflow that a bespoke configuration is worth the effort — but only if I can make that configuration as trivially ubiquitous as vim itself. →
