At home, I have a couple of older Linux systems on which I run the distribution's Vim package rather than build my own. I don't use Vim often enough or heavily enough on those systems for me to bother to build my own version on them, but I do really like having the settings I'm used to and it is easy enough to keep my ~/.vim directories in sync across all the machines I use, so I do. At work, we all have home directories that are automatically NFS mounted to whatever Linux machine we log on to. I maintain my own Vim on my primary machine, but it doesn't even run on some of the older Linux machines, so I use whatever Vim version is there, which may be old or not full-featured. There were other comments in your reply that deserve a response, but they require more thought than I have time to give at the moment.
