Would love to see something similar for "emacs"<p>I just learned something new for example today - using the ".dir-locals.el" to specify per-directory variables :)<p>I want to learn vi/vim, but spent already so much time learning emacs (and still feeling baby in it... which is good!)

It's interesting that "set autoindent" is so common. I replaced this with "filetype indent on" some years ago, since I'd rather have language-sensitive indentation.

Normalisation of settings would be a very good thing to do. 'ruler' and 'ru', 'autoindent' and 'ai', 'etc.' and 'et cetera'.

Very cool project, thanks for sharing! :)<p>What could be interesting addition, would be to see how these change over time, ie .vimrc trends.<p>I had a similar idea for analyzing dotfiles stats, which was subsequently filed in evernote as a 'yet-another-hack-i-would-like-to-do-someday-but-realistically-probably-will-not' ;)

Did this for fun mostly to test out casper.js (it's nice!)<p>I'd welcome any feedback on how to better present interesting data, or answer any questions. Thanks!

What a surprise: 574/800 useless set nocompatible. Cargo cult for the win!
