The biggest tip would be use "gvim" (vim with the gui pops up it's own window and in the background unless the "-f" option is used). Another is to view diffs use "gvimdiff f1 f2" or if not gui compiled use "vimdiff f1 f2". The default for the "*vimdiff" is that folding is on. Also the "*vimdiff" will do a 3 file diff as well via "gvimdiff f1 f2 f3".
