First of all, you have to dump Janus. It is bad for you. Learn to use stock Vim and gradually integrate plugins as needed. I recommend NeoBundle to manage them, as it is able to compile plugins if required.

I've been using vim for years and the only plugins I use are vim-airline[1] and vim-bufferline[2]. Of course, my editing needs may not be as complex as yours, but in reality most things you think you need a plugin for can be done with plain Vim. Feel free to check out my humble .vimrc[3] for some inspiration.

That may well be good advice, but it doesn't really solve the other problems he's complaining about, right?


No, but it's a good start.
