This is the most annoying of the features on GVIM.. I like GVIM because it
had syntax highlighting, but my fingers are programmed to handle indenting
with just the basic indenting that is standard even on the elder vi implementation.


How it's hurting me now, an example in PHP:
----
   if (!is_a("pcollection",$pcollection))
           return error(false,"pcollection invalid in pload->load");
----

Everytime I type ">" in the line above, the whole line jumps a tab to the right.. This is very bothersome, and has been followed with me deleting the auto inserted tab at the beginning.. But every time I do something that Vim interprets as something that needs to be indented, without me asking for it explicitly, it just does it..

I have tried everything to get the indenting to default to basic auto indention, which
is to not "predict the unpredictable".  I kind of believe that auto-indent
features were brough into the world by Microsoft in an effort to stimulate a software repurchase, this should never be a default feature of any application, except for auto field fill, or auto-completion, in all other cases it's disorienting..
