Over the years I seem to have gone full circle with Vim. These days I lean towards few or even no plugins - snipmate is the last plugin i'm struggling to eliminate.

This is more than likely a factor of my environment though. I'm frequently using Vim "away from home" so to speak.

Best approach for this i've found so far is to set a $VIMINIT on remote login (i.e. an admittedly clunky combination of SendEnv set for Host * in ~/.ssh/config). Still on the lookout for a better way though.
