I myself use extensively the code from brackets.vim, i.e. Alt+l to get
\label, Alt+b to enclose previous letter in \mathbf, with my additions
for \mathbb, and few more more used commands. Also I use shift+f1 to
get align environment, `+something to get greek letters or some other
stuff, and also some of the EEN type of bindings. Ocasionally I use
F9, not a lot, but this probably will change, when I'll start to write
my own thesis:) Also I use my custom shortcuts for compiling and
viewing Alt+1 for dvi+ps+pdf, Alt+2 for dvi, Alt+7 for viewing dvi,
Alt+8 for viewing postscript and Alt+9 for viewing pdf. I posted these
customisations to list some time ago.

In general I'm very happy with vim-latex, and I do not have any
show-stopper or annoying problems. What I would like to improve a bit
though is a following:

1. (( always gives \left( \right), since I frequently need parenthesis
within parenthesis, this sometimes is annoying.
2. \left( \right) parenthesis are too big, so it would be nice to have
some automatisation with \big, \bigg and other similar style
parenthesis. I'm thinking something like `(b expanding to \big( \big)
or something similar.
3. It would be good to have one place to safely put simple
customisations of vim-latex, like shortcuts, or some code which is
made using only functions of vim-latex.

First two I think is easy to do, and probably I can do them myself,
the 3 probably can not be done at all.
