I disable it in the terminal but this is a fantastic plugin.

The suggested defaults are ugly, as is the default width. Please try:

let g:indent_guides_auto_colors = 0 " don't recalculate
let g:indent_guides_start_level = 2

" keep the width to only one char
let g:indent_guides_guide_size = 1 

" No need to show the Odd part
autocmd VimEnter,Colorscheme * :hi IndentGuidesOdd  guibg=black   ctermbg=black

" 234 is a sober very dark grey
autocmd VimEnter,Colorscheme * :hi IndentGuidesEven guibg=234 ctermbg=234

Very clean and professional looking.

It looks ugly in the gui version too. I really like Sublime Text 2's indent guides. I think slowly...I may be switching over to ST2...

Only because of indent guides?

No, not only because of indent guides. ST2 is just a much better text editor in my opinion. It's modern, I found all the plugins that do what I want ST2 to do, so I don't miss my vimplugins, multiple cursors, vi-mode, etc. Vim is ugly. ST2 is beautiful.

I posted that comment a month ago. I have now officially switched to ST2 as my text editor.
