 20+ years of vim, and my vimrc is only 5 lines, 3 of which were added just to be obnoxious

code:
runtime defaults.vim
set expandtab
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set softtabstop=4

 i also mostly edit config files and config management nonsense rather than code.

pycharm is nice when i have to write more than a quick script.
