Wow, another post with the exact same plugins as all the other posts.

These are all the 13 plugins currently sitting in my bundle directory:

* AutoComplPop

Provides auto completion. I like/need auto completion less and less, these days, so this one is on its way out. I tend to deactivate it and use my old custom mappings for omni completion instead.

The no plugin way:

    inoremap ,, <C-x><C-o>
* Commentary

Toggles comments.

The no plugin way:

    0i//
    :s+^//++
* CtrlP

Super sleek fuzzy file/buffer/tag navigation. I love it.

The no plugin way:

    :e filename
    :sp *na<tab>
    :vs **/fi<tab>
    :sb *na<tab>
    nnoremap <leader>ls :ls<CR>:sb<Space>
    etc.
* DelimitMate

Automatically adds the second "')]}.

The no plugin way:

    inoremap { {}<left>
* EasyGrep

Handy cross-files/buffers search/replace. More convenient than the default mechanism.

The no plugin way:

    :vimgrep <cword> *.js | copen
* InsertImg (customized)

Inserts an <img> tag with the correct width and height.

* SnipMate

I use the old one as it does everything I need without any problem.

The no plugin way:

    :help abbreviations
* Sparkup

Uses CSS syntax to quickly create large HTML layouts:

    div.aclass*5 > p{lorem ipsum} + img.anotherclass[src=/images/img.png]
* Surround

See the article. This one is almost a good reason in of itself to switch to Vim.

* Syntastic

Syntax checking of many languages on the fly. Super handy.

* Tabular

Because I like my code neatly aligned.

* Visincr

I actually don't use this one much but it helps a lot when I need to write lists of numbers/letters.

* Word-Column

The new kid on the block. Provides a text-object for columns.

and the 14th, currently testing:

* EasyMotion
