VIM: bashsupport
This is one of my favorite VIM plugins; It makes it extremely easy to create well-documented shell scripts. For example, a quick \ch creates a file header block including script name, description, requirements, notes, etc. muy bueno!

Sure, it was easier to justify back when it was unlimited downloads for the monthly fee, but I never really thought that would last anyway. I love my current plan [...]
