Last I heard, Damian Conway, Chromatic, Tim O'Reilly amongst others, all used vim. Damian even gives talks about vim and boasts 540+ lines of vim functions. Seems like a lot of hackers profess vim usage, but where are their vimrcs?

Amir Salihefendic's vimrc has a good policy function, namely
strip whitespace from the end of python lines on file write.
