Vim-Latexsuite

Post by Stefanie »

I'm a big fan of the vi keybindings and that's why I always use gvim + vim-latexsuite to edit my latex files. It does the job really well, but apparently the development of vim-latexsuite has stopped. Is this true?

Do you think this means that the package will quickly become obsolete? If this is the case I might have to look out for another solution, I don't want to be dependent on outdated software. Does anyone know if emacs + auctex + viper mode is a good alternative? Does it take a lot of time to setup (I've got quite a few custom shortcuts)? Are all the vim-keybindings supported? Plain emacs keybindings are not an option, all this escape-meta-alt-control-shift stuff makes my fingers hurt.
