Lime Text – Open Source Sublime Text alternative (2014)

I just noticed that if I use too many plugins (where too many in my vimrc is > 12) the startup time can be a bit slow (3-4 seconds).

Compare it with emacs in which I have far more plugins and it still starts fast as a clean install.

Anyway not a big problem eh. For me vimscript is the shitty part of vim.

I just want to say that it's likely not the amount of plugins it's the weight each have, likely you have a few heavy ones causing your boot to be slow. I use ~20 plugins and startup time is still under a second when opening a 35000 line file, try using --startuptime

That sounds like an issue with specific plugins not loading on demand. Though it's not always avoidable, like when you open vim with specific files which triggers the lazy loading.
