Keeping everything vim-related in one config file is _waaaay_ cleaner. Cluttering the filesystem with a swarm of files seems untidy, and is a good way to leave config behind when moving to a new installation/OS upgrade, I figure.

Is there much of a difference of backing up ~/.vim/ instead of ~/.vimrc? It is basically self contained and it contains every thing for setting up the new environment. plugins, configuration, undo-files, session files, custom scripts, spelling files, syntax files,

Just to this; I keep my primary machine as my reference. (I also revision =control some of the configs, but not rigorously alas). I have a script called "putacc" which rsyncs my environment to multiple remote hosts - a parallel rsync with a --files-from list of items and some exclusions.

So keeping mutliple remote homedirs is very easy, as is moving to a new environment: "putacc other-host".
