vim-latex
Introduction
There exists several LaTeX plugins for vim, for instance:
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 vim-latex, 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 vim-latex with the strength of other plugins. I personally recommend UltiSnips for snippets and neocomplete for completion.
Read the documentation for a more thorough introduction.
