I use Markus' .vim files:

I prefer vim but I don't want to restart the emacs vs vim flame war 
again and again.

To my mind, people using advanced editors like vim or emacs can take 
care of customization by them-selves. Don't expect a regular vim user to 
switch to emacs just for ocaml programming. The converse holds too, I guess.

We'd better concentrate on true and mature IDE integration like eclipse 
and see how it can be integrated with cross platform ocaml build tools 
such as omake for instance. It looks like Eclipse is becomming the 
definitive cross-platform IDE for many companies.

cheers,
