VIM Plugins That Greatly Increase my Productivity

Dear anyone, starting on Vim , please go through the article(which is very good actually, I use 2 of them) but I really wouldn't suggest you to try these or any plugin for that matter, in the very beginning. Rather just do the vim vim.

I mean vim productivity is basic vim commands, movements, yank etc. Once you can move and edit like a ninja (or even a baby ninja) inside a text file you can go ahead and explore around.

BTW, no one is stopping you from trying plugins from the very beginning but it just adds to the clutter and unnecessarily elongates the initial learning path.

I couldn't agree more, and I probably should have linked this previous thing[1] I wrote. One of the biggest barriers I had to actually using VIM was going nuts with the plugins.
