We review recent developments in the vortex picture of confinement. We discuss numerical simulations demonstrating that the entire asymptotic string tension is due to vortex-induced fluctuations of the Wilson loop. Analytical and numerical results concerning the presence of vortices as the necessary and sufficient condition for confinement at arbitrarily weak coupling in SU(N) gauge theories are also discussed.
