That's nice stevensonmt, thanks for the shout out on recommended plugins !
I am preparing another post to talk also about plugins and configuration, I am currently using Vundle and it's just perfect for my needs.
How do you feel about productivity after switching from Atom to Vim ?

Productivity at this point is at least on par and probably improved. I still forget to switch modes at times and just start typing, then have to undo whatever commands I accidentally sent. Other than that my ability to perform batch edits like finding regex patterns and substituting another pattern is much quicker.

On plugins I can't believe I forgot NERDTree. Essential, really. I almost think it should be included in the default configuration of vim.
