<p>I am not a vim newbie but only recently started using vim pathogen. My github account is codersquid and I've started cleaning up my dotfiles but they are still a mess.</p>
<p>I like the the NERD family of plugins and also buff explorer and a few others. I've been trying to decide whether I like the folding settings I have for python. They need tweaking or need to be done away with.</p>
<p>I like when people share dotfiles because I'm trying to kick my vim skills up a notch though I'm sure that means I'll be a little irked when I'm at someone else's buffer.</p>
<p>How has pycharm been treating you? Carl is not back from Pycon.de so I don't have his impressions yet. <br>
