Still, with the current situation, working with long latex document, likely to be split in several files which are \included from a single on, is annoying. The reason being that the included files do not have a preamble, and the recognition of 'tex' vs 'plaintex' is mainly based on stuff to appear in preamble. Note that not recognizing files as 'tex' properly will inhibit an important plugin as the vim latex suite to be loaded automatically. Maybe is just a matter of changing the default to 'tex' then? I tend to believe that the vast majority of documents in some \TeX dialect authored these day are \LaTeX ones ...
