The 15 Best Vim Plugins

One of the things that makes vim great is that it can be extended through plugins. There are plugins for more than you would expect. I have gathered together the 15 best plugins. I’ve included these plugins as part of my ultimate VIM configuration (http://spf13.com/post/ultimate-vim-config) which has been featured on many sites and is hosted on github (https://github.com/spf13/spf13-vim).  I’ve also begun a series of posts on some of these plugins including snipmate (http://spf13.com/post/vim-plugins-snipmate) and NerdCommenter (http://spf13.com/post/vim-plugins-nerd-commenter).
