For Python, there is a choice of the jedi library or the rope library to do refactoring and smart completion. This in addition to ctags and the like. I imagine other languages have similar things.

Jedi is pretty good actually. Initially it would sometimes be slow and mess up buffers, but that didn't happen for a long time.

netrw comes by default. No need to install NERDTree.
