A comment on Lisp in Vim with Slimv or Vlime.

Re:Lisp in Vim with Slimv or Vlime by georgecn on Saturday December 07, 2019 @06:00AM (#21729613)
From the OP:

  git clone https://github.com/kovisoft/slimv.git ~/.vim/bundle/slimv
  echo 'set runtimepath^=~/.vim/bundle/slimv' >> ~/.vimrc
  vim +'helptags ~/.vim/bundle/slimv/doc' +q
Is this a common way of installing Vim plugins?

I'm not sure what's the mainstream way right now, but I don't think it's commonly done by echoing stuff to the end of the .vimrc file.

My plugin manager is Vundle, where you basically just add a line in the .vimrc with the repository name, and then run :PluginInstall. Quick and easy.
