Ken Bowen once had a bunch of good vi info on his site, but it has disappeared. Probably because Ken used to be a vi user, but I've got him switched to emacs now too.

version 5
Vi
I switched from vi to XEmacs as my primary editor years ago. However, I still find myself using vim all the time, for many reasons. The biggest is probably that it's much quicker to start up than emacs. Also, you can always depend on having some sort of vi on a system, while emacs is still sort of optional.
Thus, here's my my .vimrc.

Comment on TheOtherTrueEditor:
The argument that "there's always vi on any system" sort of undercuts the motivation for having a .vimrc, though, doesn't it? Unless you have memorized it, I guess. --bjk
