Created October 22, 2012 19:26
A well commented beginner set of vim settings for your ~/.vimrc
" Beginners .vimrc
" v0.1 2012-10-22 Philip Thrasher

" Important things for beginners:

" * Spend time configuring your editor... It's important. Its the tool you
" spend 8 hours a day crafting your reputation.
