A comment on Vim After 11 Years.

Minor nitpick, but can any terminals do squiggly underlines or is that still a gVim only feature?

Squiggly underlines? What, do you mean:

    1 class Hello
  ~
  ~
  ~
  ~
  ~
  --INSERT--
Like that? Of course; heck, even xterm does that fine. If you were referring to something else, I'm not too sure...

EDIT:

Never mind, now I know what you're talking about. No, I don't think you can get those in terminal vim, but I'm pretty sure there is a plugin for it.

iTerm2, at least, can show underlines where you'd expect squiggly lines in GUI vim. It's not as nice as the squigglies but it's pretty functional in practice.
