I have the ruler shown, but as soon as I drop into insert mode, it disappears and reappears upon entering normal mode. This is very annoying when trying to insert a certain number of spaces to have the cursor at column x. MacVim shows no such behaviour.

How can I show the ruler in insert mode?

It does show for me in insert mode. Did you try with plugins disabled? Try with an empty vimrc (vim --noplugin and vim -u NONE). – PhilippFrank Mar 05 '16 at 15:47
:verbose set ruler? – Christian Brabandt Mar 05 '16 at 15:56

Ok, yes it seems to be plugin related (update: YouCompleteMe is the culprit). Also right now it only happens with program files like .py or .cpp. .txt does not have this issue. – oarfish Mar 05 '16 at 16:51
This questions is seeking debugging help ("why isn't this working?"), cannot be reproduced, and doesn't include any vimrc files. It is most likely related to a setting, combination of settings, or a plugin. Please see How do I debug my vimrc file? and How to create a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example?. – Martin Tournoij Mar 08 '16 at 07:57
