I personally switched to github.com/martanne/vis or plain vi(1). For any scripting problems, I just use the standard tools, sed(1), awk(1), tr(1), cut(1) or write a shell script. For a few years I thought it was my fault I didnt't get vim's "advanced" features, now I think vim is leaning towards the "bloat" side. My tools are very well suited for "modern" web development. I'd recommend learning the standard UNIX tools rather than vimscript.
