What Hacker News says
8 sourcesOne of my favorite plugins that hasn't been mentioned so far is vim-powerline https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline. It makes Vim have a really polished look to it, and more important: tells you which Git branch you're currently in.
In Plugins you should put in your vimrcThats his tmux Theme(outer) inner is powerline for Vim(https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline/), with a patched font.
In Numbers.vim - better line numbers for vimI prefer Alfred (http://www.alfredapp.com/) over Quicksilver.

It looks like a combo of vim-powerline, stock tmux status line, and the status line that wemux adds.

In Wemux - Set up tmux for party pair programmingIf you don't want to install pathogen or vundle here is another simple way:
~/.vim $ git clone https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline.git powerline
