This is slick. Anyone with more vim-fu than me have a good way to add mixed tabs/spaces warnings to airline?

here's a blog post i found that does what you need (http://got-ravings.blogspot.com/2008/10/vim-pr0n-statusline-...)

and then you can replace one of the airline sections with it.

Is there a nice status line plugin that isn't full of color / visual noise? This would be by far the loudest and most animated part of my vim screen. I've tried powerline too and found it little but a distraction. I basically don't need to know which mode I'm in, either - if I somehow forget, or come back to vim after a while, I can just hit escape to reset its state.

What are you looking for in a status line plugin then? You can customize it a lot in your vimrc without a plugin.

I like this a lot, and it's particularly relevant to me since I occasionally find myself running an older version of vim. Therefore I always like seeing plugins written in pure vimscript.

I've spent hours trying to get powerline to work with the patched fonts on OSX and Macvim without any results. This is lightweight, simple and just worked out of the box. Also the light theme is amazing. THANK YOU!

You can use Powerline without a patched font. Set the separator accordingly it won't use fancy symbols.
