Personal sane Vim defaults

I have found many "sane" default configs on the net and this is my favorite personal list. This is how my .vimrc file looks like.

Updated version is available on GitHub.

noremap <silent> ,cu :<C-B>silent <C-E>s/^\V<C-R>=escape(b:comment_leader,'\/')<CR>//e<CR>:nohlsearch<CR>

" Language specific indentation.
filetype plugin indent on
autocmd Filetype make,go,c,cpp setlocal noexpandtab tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4
autocmd Filetype html,js,css setlocal expandtab tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2

I keep it pretty vanilla so this is about everything I have in the file.
