[Labs-l] can we get rid of default vim config?

[Petr Bena]

What I personally hate most on this one is that it fuck your terminal
colors when you close it, as well as you have to switch to paste mode
before pasting anything, as the way how it indents break stuff.

I don't know how but vim I am using is using auto-indent and it works
with pasting - I don't need to switch any mode or turn anything off...
