I keep a very simple vimrc file with minimal customization. Note however that I'm a beginner with Vim, so my customizations end with what "just works" with minimum pain for me.
set nobackup
set clipboard=unnamed
set number
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
colorscheme oceandeep
set tabstop=4
set expandtab
set list
set listchars=tab:>.
hi Comment ctermfg=darkgray

I have the tabs replaced to ">." since I moved from tabs to 4-spaces in all my code. That way I can do a :retab in those old files which still have tabs in them.
ps: Glad to see I'm not the only Vim geek around here! ;)
I've been using Vim for over ten years now, across several jobs and platforms and tasks, so my .vimrc and .gvimrc have gathered quite a bit of cruft. I keep them in a git repository along with my various other generically useful config files, and just check them out on each new machine I get an account on.
There's too much stuff in these files to describe what everything does, but there's a lot of comments, so along with the Vim online help you should be able to figure everything out:
Highlights include a single key-binding for stepping through every buffer in every tab, consistent mouse-handling between console-vim and gvim, and code to automatically make gvim inherit the GNOME default monospace font.
