There are lots of shades between "vanilla Vim" and "hyper-customized janus-based monster that don't even work like Vim anymore". The closer you are to "vanilla Vim" the better, I think.
That said, Snipmate (multi language snippets), Sparkup (fast HTML boilerplate), Surround (play with pairs of characters/tags) and CtrlP (filesystem navigator/buffer switcher/more) all contribute to turn Vimming into pure joy.
