yes it works by doing vim -u BUT that means you need to add some extra
stuff to .profile of every user on every project you use :/

I understand that someone likes the version that we have on labs by
default, but shouldn't people have option to choose what they like,
rather than being forced to use something what someone thinks that is
better for them...
