Unlike LaTeX-suite, vimtex plays nicely with other plugins and doesn't try to make Vim into an full-fledged TeX IDE. It integrates very naturally into a Vim workflow: It provides text objects for environments and inline math, motions for sections and paragraphs, omni-completion for many LaTeX objects, compiler log parsing, definition jumping, and more. It's modular: all features can be turned on or off via vimrc flags.
