Sorry, I was assuming that you didn't have a lot of vim experience; that
 may not be true. But barreling ahead on that thread anyway ...

Also make use of the automatic indenting and un-indenting available with
the > (open angle bracket) and < (close angle bracket) keys. Going to
the top of a 'paragraph', hitting >, and then hitting } ("until end of
paragraph") indents the whole thing; <} un-indents. Very handy. You
can use the range operators (3,5, "current line" (.), etc.)

ViM is no IDE, but it has some ways to make things easier.
