Surprised that people are actually trying this. IMO there are far better configurations out there if you want to try a pre-tailored one. Google for them, i'll add my personal favorite here since people are actually up-voting and installing this less than impressive config.
If you use ruby/rails try yadr https://github.com/skwp/dotfiles.
If you don't use ruby, it (imo) still has one of the best key maps/configs for beginners just delete the ruby plugins.
Make it yours:
:help every plugin and every setting if you don't know what it does. Change any key mappings you don't like. It will take about 40 hours to familiarize yourself with everything, that is if you go plugin hunting yourself. I'm not a believer that starting from scratch is the way to go.
Add YouCompleteMe, vim-detailed, vim-notes, vim-slime, vim-numbertoggle, vim-abolish, vim-startify, vim-textobj-rubyblock, switch.vim, ultisnips, vim-airline, unite (check out unite plugins), vim-expand-region, vim-jsbeatify, extradite, vim-diffchanges, vim-speeddating, goldenview or golden-ratio.
This config probably won't run well on machines that are older than 2012, in total there are about 90 plugins. Remove any plugins you don't need. Look up how to profile your plugins, if one of them is causing things to be slow remove it. Don't install anything without reading the help file immediately afterwards.
Learning enough vim to match your current productivity is not as difficult as everyone makes it out to be. I was instantly more productive with this setup switching from RubyMine and I still have barely scratched the surface of those help files. Disclaimer: I had picked up the most basic motion / visual selection keys previously working over SSH. And I was familiar with window/buffer management from using tmux daily.

Remove vim-snipmate, neocomplicache, vim-snippets, vim-colors-solarized. Remove nerdtree nerdtree, vim-nerdtree-tabs, use :e/CtrlP instead.

To everyone I highly recommend YouCompleteMe, vim-detailed, vim-notes, and https://github.com/rking/vim-detailed.
