Vim is a great editor! I like it and I use it. But now I have a complaint. Recently I set up a new Slackware Linux system and installed Gvim. When it starts up it reads in 28 *.vim files, including my .vimrc file, which is read in as number 10. (I determined this with :script). My .vimrc is read in as number 10, and apparently the subsequent 18 files override some specifications in my .vimrc. Right now it is almost unusable with special formating, comment handling, and it automatically doubles each '>' I enter.
I can override this behavior with the command-line option "-u .vimrc", but then I loose features I like, such as spell-checking and other stuff. (Yes, I want to both eat and have my cake!) So it is going to be a research project to add back files like vimballPlugin, ftplugin.vim, etc. I don't know what they do, or what their dependencies are. My question is, how should one manage this complex installation, and how does one find out what plugins do, and what their dependencies are?
