Vim as a project is very much alive but to be honest I usually advise
not using too many of the add-ons because you then get further away from
the original vi which is still the standard editor on any modern Unix
box. So if you ever have to login to some non vimified box knowing the
original commands is very useful.
And once you get your head around them they are incredibly efficient
and consistent in how they work. I often guess at how things might work
in vim and it just works.
