Re: The Ultimate Vim Distribution
#74I have said it before here when people have discussed packaging up Vim stuff, and I stick by it: I really don't see this taking off. Switching to using this does not appeal to me, an existing Vim user, and I think I am not an exception. If this does something new that I like I'll gladly throw that part into my setup, but there really isn't any reason at all that I can see for wanting to use this. I don't think this i…
Maybe it's particular to Emacs, but I've found that the defaults are often terrible, and half of all tutorials I see for _anything_ are about changing the default case.

I'll check that out, thanks. My zsh setup has been pretty stagnant for a while now, probably about time I gave it some love.
In case it isn't clear, prezto is a fork of oh-my-zsh which has basically been rewritten bit by bit to make everything much cleaner and saner. I highly recommend it. The history-substring-search and syntax-highlighting modules are brilliant. You will be the envy of all your friends and neighbours.

#77I personally swear by https://github.com/scrooloose/vimfiles.git installation. It doesn't go by some fancy name but does its work outstandingly. I have added to its vimrc wherever it deems fit. ASK HN: I am looking out for jumping out to a CSS selector in a css file from the HTML file I am editing for quite sometime in one key. Please see if you can guide me on this.

How is vundle worse?
I dunno, I had problems trying to make it do something, but I forget what. I almost want to say it was git submodule related, but it was like a year or more ago.
People should think about what they say.

At the very least, pipe-to-shell means you're left without an audit trail, if you're actually practicing that method. With a downloadable executable or installer, I'm left with a file that I can save, checksum, scan for vulnerabilities, and/or refer to at a later date should I find that there are concerns I didn't discover initially. curl-pipe-bash, especially in the absence of SSL/TLS, leaves me vulnerable to inject…
While I agree 100% with your advice for mission-critical servers, for a dev machine I don't see the problem with the ease of curl -> sh. It takes "very very very bad idea" down to "you probably should at least check out the installer script first".
There's a pretty scary amount of iffy public code that ends up on mission-critical servers. I could outline some chains of connection, but briefly: it's very easy for someone's cheesy little website to become a significant player in another organization's processing.
That "website" you're going to likely runs not only on multiple servers, but in multiple datacenters across multiple organizational borders: core site, sales, support, order fulfillment, marketing analytics, web analytics, email, messaging, social integration ....
The best way not to get into bad habits on your production, mission-critical systems is to not allow them anywhere else.
Granted, this is a Vim suite, but I'm seeing similar brain death in far too many corners.
