Bug Description
Binary package hint: vim
There is a huge need to have a separation between user-data and
user-preferences. For example, when I back up my configuration files - I should be targetting .vimrc and .vim config files, but not my .viminfo files.
This will also have the added advantage of a less cluttered home directory.

But Vim isn't a Gnome application. And it doesn't make sense for Vim's configuration to be different for Ubuntu users.
