 ## Introduction
 
-There exists several LaTeX plugins for vim, for instance:
-- [LaTeX-Suite](http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net):
-  [vimscript#475](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=475)
-- [AutomaticTexPlugin](http://atp-vim.sourceforge.net):
-  [vimscript#2945](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2945)
-- [LaTeX-Box](https://github.com/LaTeX-Box-Team/LaTeX-Box):
-  [vimscript#3109](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3109)
-- [vim-latex-live-preview](https://github.com/xuhdev/vim-latex-live-preview):
-  [vimscript#4524](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4524)
-
-I have been using both LaTeX-Suite and LaTeX-Box myself, but I found both of
-these to be relatively bulky and difficult to manage and extend.  LaTeX-Box
-was supposed to be simple and lightweight, and I think it was close to being
-just that.  However, after having worked on it for some time, I felt that much
-of the simplicity could be improved by a complete restructuring.
-
-Enter vimtex, which is a lightweight and simple plugin that provides LaTeX
-support for vim.  It has most of the functionality of LaTeX-Box, but the idea
-is to combine vimtex with the strength of other plugins.  I personally
-recommend [UltiSnips](https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips) for snippets and
-[neocomplete](https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplete.vim) for completion.
