Agreed, this is a really great plugin. I love how I can see which mode (normal/insert/etc) I'm in by the statusbar color change. The color change is strong enough that I can see it in my peripheral vision, and don't ever have to take my eyes off of the code.

I'm so used to pathogen now that I almost forgot how much a mess installing vim plugins used to be. Really seems like there's been a plugin renaissance in the last couple of years.
