Vi/Vim has gotten a resurgence lately in popularity, mostly through some popular Rubyists making it their de facto editor, and I'm happy because I've been finding lots of new plugins which make my programming life easier.  One of those plugins is called Pathogen by Tim Pope -- it allows you to install plugins and/or scripts in their directories rather then mixing it up in the vim directory.  It makes it easy to install and uninstall plugins because no one wants to spend a day looking for files to remove just to uninstall that file plugin helper that just didn't want to work right. :)

My plugins list, but it changes.  If there's any good ones out there, I'd love to hear about them.
