What's your favorite thing about vim?
I personally enjoy omnicompletion, cscope integration, and ctags all working together.

The bit that maximizes the window in Windows, "au GUIEnter * simalt ~x" in my _vimrc file.

I'm really surprised that so many people use Vim on Windows.

Why? Sometimes you don't have a choice of OS, but you can always run vim.

I enjoy the following things about vim:
- The ability to access the command line right from inside vim
- Its two modes, which allow me to work faster
- The fact that I can extend it with Python, although I haven't taken advantage of that yet.

What exactly do you mean under "to access the command line right from inside vim?".

Probably he means executing shell commands (see http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_21.html#21.2 ) This is very handy, for example if you want to use a directory listing in a text.

I am sorry, I had computer trouble so I couldn't respond. Yes, I meant what migu said.

I like my custom syntax highlighting which helps me remember syntax rules for languages I'm learning.

A:
Taglist, the C/C++ IDE and the awesome bufferexplorer, with the bufferexplorer being the most awesome enhancement for me personally.
First off i coded using a tabbed aproach and switching to tabs with gt and gT. I was fairly content with that approach until i started using the bufferexplorer. It simply shows you a list of open buffers with \be (probably a mnemonic for buffer explore) and i enjoy that even more than the tabbed approach.
