What is Cream (for Vim)?

Cream is a configuration framework for the Vim text editor that helps simplify and streamline customizing Vim to suit a user's needs. It provides an easy way to install plugins, set Vim options, and configure key mappings and commands without having to directly write much Vimscript configuration.

Some key features of Cream include:

  • Simple, intuitive configuration using a Creamfile to specify plugins, options, mappings, commands, and more
  • Automatic installation of plugins from GitHub, Vim scripts, or local paths
  • Preconfigured curated plugin sets for things like programming languages or tooling
  • An extendable plugin architecture for adding new functionality
  • Integration with Vim 8 packages
  • Portability across systems by isolating configuration

By abstracting away much of Vim's complexity, Cream makes customizing and setting up Vim less intimidating. It aims to be beginner-friendly but also provide enough flexibility for power users. The goal of the project is to ultimately provide a unified interface for configuring the various aspects of Vim.
