SpaceVim – Like Spacemacs, but for Vim

It's just a config for emacs. Sure it has some functions and life-cycle hooks for you to change a few things here and there, but in the end it's a glorified config. You delete .emacs.d and you're back to default emacs.

It's not just a config, it's plenty of code.

In emacs, thanks to Elisp, you can't really distinguish between a config and a plugin, because most 'configs' use actual code to (often extensively) alter the editors behaviour.

If you're suggesting that config files don't have actual code then by that reasoning your .vimrc is in fact also not a config.

If you delete //bin/ Ubuntu just becomes regular Linux.

Bad example. Most Linux distros have plenty of changes to the kernel itself also.

Changes to the code or just compile-time flags and/or additional modules?
