Vim has released some time ago its 7th version. The first surprise was the compilation: It took only 5 minutes to compile it from the source, I was expecting some hours though!
Vim 7 contains many additional features, the most important are

• Spell checking (Finally!) for many languages with highlighting.
• More user-friendly completion using a menu to search words
• Tab pages, like Firefox! Commands are :tabnew, :tabclose, :tabnext, :tabprevious, …
• Browsing into archives: Zip, tarballs, …
• Profiling
• …

I have been testing and playing with plugins, trying to hack on and make the mine. The best one I have tried is LaTeXSuite; once installed, it allows you to use advanced functions within the editor, and if you are using GTK version (gVim), new menus will be added to side bar.

Thus, you won’t have to learn LaTeX commands or formulaes symbols: everything is listed on the menu! There’s also a TeX reference that comes with the package so that you can use it as a Vim help file.
