I just switched to using vim, and am working on my vimrc. My problem is MacVim is not loading my vimrc when it opens, I have to explicitly run :source ~/.vimrc for my settings to be applied. Any ideas what I can do?

Do you perhaps have a ~/_vimrc file? Mac looks for a vimrc file in both locations, but it may stop looking if it checks for and finds a ~/_vimrc file first.
If that doesn't help, you can also workaround this by running vim -u ~/.vimrc. Although take note of this issue raised in this question.

I dont have a ~/_vimrc, I would rather not have to hack the mvim startup script for this to work but I guess I might have to. – trobrock Dec 24 '10 at 03:44
