i like simple software. current goal of website is micro blog, subject to change.

when is it worth it to switch from basic configurations? i added a three lines to my vimrc.

sytax on
set number
set colorcolumn=120

syntax on is syntax highlighting, i can mentally parse whats on my screen easier with this on. set number and set color column makes it easier to keep a source file under control. some language specs white space is ignored. yet, we don't write everything on a single line. this shows that there must be a benifit to have a regular way to use whitespace.
