better text for #7 here:

if has("syntax)
syntax on
endif

Keeps you from getting a warning if your copy of vim doesn't have syntax highlighting turned on.

I also like to set my tabstop/shiftwidth to 4 (because 8 gets *really* messy when you nest enough if statements). Also, if you set one and not the other, I've found that some freaky stuff happens:

set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
