Comment on Plugins you should put in your vimrc

Every time an article like this comes up, snipMate seems to be mentioned. This particular author even pointed to the old repository which appears unmaintained and has not had a check-in for two years.

Where's the love for UltiSnips? [1]

UltiSnips is actively maintained and well documented, not to mention supporting many more features, such as Python interpolation. More info at [2].

Actually, where's the love for neocomplcache? [1]

neocomplcache is actively maintained and well documented, not to mention supporting many more features, such as file path completion, register completion, omni completion and Vim completion.

Just switched to neocomplcache from AutoComplPop. Enjoying it very much so far.

While the original author has abandoned snipmate, there is a fork that is actively maintained: https://github.com/garbas/vim-snipmate

I've been a happy user of snipmate, but I'll give ultisnips a try. Thanks for the tip!

+1 for ultisnips, definitely the superior option when it comes to templating.

I just installed it. It's pretty good. The docs aren't great though. I hate sitting through screencasts.
