I've been getting better and better acquainted with surround.vim, and it's awesome. I mentioned ctrl-p in the other branch, and I stick by that as my most-used plugin.
What are yours?

Best vim plugins
I guess we could transition this to 'best vim plugins for productivity' too.
I'd have to say ctrl-p by far is the most used in my workflow.

it's amazing.
oh fail on the attachment ~_~
THIS is surround.vim
github.com
Hands down my most used plugin is command-t. It's changed the way I navigate any source tree wincent.com .
Andrew Flockhart added Jonathan Kowalski.
Vim is a very good editor (maybe the best for single files). However, we often need a project management today.
Project brings it.
vim.org
@Jonathan - does that beat NERDtree? It seems like it accomplishes the same thing? or am I wrong?
Andrew Flockhart added Kenneth Love.
I haven't used Project but it doesn't look like it does much that NERDTree and standard Vim can't do as far as files/projects.
Andrew Flockhart mentioned Surround.vim. That's the only thing I miss when I use Sublime Text 2, actually.
I do not use Nerdtree so I do not know if it's better. Anyway, Project is not just a browser, it lets you filter files (by folder if necessary), hide some folders (useful for cache, tmp), reorganize your tree as you want (to put your most using folders in first).
It also automatically puts you at the root of your project, in short it is essential for me :)
Andrew Flockhart added Celso Pinto and Ad Taylor.
Vundle is a great plugin... Think apt for vim
I find the Powerline plugin really useful. github.com
All it does is add extra features to the status line in VIM. I find the branch display to be really helpful.
This image might give you a better idea about what it does.

@Celso does vundle kinda do what Pathogen does? github.com
When I started taking plugins seriously Pathogen was a godsend. One thing vim doesn't do well is make it easy to add plugins out of the box.
@Ad Taylor powerline looks great- I'm gonna check it out now!
@Jonathan NERDTree will do all of that minus the folder re-org.
Andrew Flockhart added Mariusz Cieśla.
@Andrew: I switched from Pathogen to Vundle a while ago and loved it - being able to just point it to Github and it will automatically download and install new stuff is absolutely amazing. I also personally couldn't live without vim-peepopen and PeepOpen (Mac only!) while doing development as well matchit.vim - github.com
Andrew Flockhart added Href.
My personal favs are Powerline, Command-T, Surround and NerdTree. (since that I've also made a ZSH, irssi & tmux theme like powerline...)
For git support, [Fugitive](github.com) is awesome.
Andrew Flockhart added Jeff Sebring.
Janus is not a plugin itself, but a nice package of many.
Andrew Flockhart added Tatum.
Janus does a really good job of packaging up a bunch of great plugins in one easy to install and use script.
Andrew Flockhart added Chris Nicola.
+1 for Ctrl+P over Command-T, doesn't need a compile step and "feels" faster/easier-to-use.
I really like Syntastic as a all around linter for most common languages works great on Ruby, Coffeescript, Javascript even HAML. Only problem I've had is the SCSS linter seems to crash VIm so I've had to disable that one.

TagBar is also a great CTags plugin.
