What is a good step-by-step guide on installing the latest version of Vim on a Mac Mini with Mountain Lion?
I would prefer to use Homebrew but it's not necessary. And, I would like for it to be as feature rich as MacVim. I thought about adding the options manually but, since I have no idea what Vim comes with and what should be added, I decided to leave it to the experts.
It's OK on Stack Overflow, because Vim is one of the most commonly used programming tools in the world. The question isn't a good one though, because you could have researched the problem a bit more and found the same answer as given, that MacVim is the appropriate choice. It's Vim for the Mac, and functions at the command-line just as well as it does using its GUI, all from the same binary. That's standard for Vim on Linux also -- it's the same binary, just called a different name, which it senses at startup and uses its GUI mode.

brew install macvim --custom-icons --override-system-vim --with-python3
fixes my problem. :) – greduan – 2013-01-05T16:50:56.483
