Vim resources

Vim is, hands-down, one of my favorite programs. I spend quite a bit of time using Vim almost every day -- and I've done a lot of Google searches for Vim resources over the years. I'm also writing a weekly Vim tips series for Linux.com, so I'll post links to those as they appear.

General resources
Vim.org, main Vim site.
Vim docs — you'll want to start there.
Steve Oualline's Vim cookbook, a good resource.
Vim FAQ — don't miss that one.
Mastering the vi editor, not Vim-specific, but still good.
