| You can also press Ctrl+A in normal mode to increment numbers!

| You don't even need to be on the number itself. Vim search automaticaly for the next number before incrementing / decrementing

| It should be noted that the 'nrformats' option dictates whether letters, octal and hexadecimal numbers are recognized and modified accordingly.

To use these keys (CTRL-A CTRL-X) on a selection (block of numbers), download vimscript #821.
This plugin also allows resequencing numbers in a selected list (example included on the script page).

... and if you have Perl, you can do tons with the s command, eg:
:%!perl -e 's/(\d+)/$1 + 1/ge'
will increment every number by one. the "e" at the end makes the right side of the substitution an expression. I find this handy for converting data to/from one-based to zero-based.

"Life changing" -- yes, but not in the way you meant.
I've been an emacs user for a loooooooong time but I often use vi/vim for quick edits. While editing a file which does some processing and then returns (programmatically) a web page, my fingers automatically typed "C-x C-s" (the emacs combo for saving a file) when the cursor was over the "200" argument (i.e. HTTP status code for a normal return). Realizing what my fingers had done, I then saved the document in a vim-approved way.
It wasn't until the next day when people were complaining about web pages not working and the access logs showed a lot of HTTP status codes of 199 that I realized that the code had changed in the source.
On a hunch that vim had some nifty feature, I googled for "vim decrement" and found this page.

| Beware of this feature if you are used to editing from within screen, and then edit a file not from within screen, try to switch windows (or do some other screen task), and find that not working. Some numbers in your file might be incremented. :-)

| If you use vim under 'screen', press "control-a", then hit "a". Screen then sends on a translation of 'control-a' to the underlying program - vim.
