You're assuming I have a hyper-customized vim setup. Which I absolutely don't, I thought it was implied from my question that I am the opposite. I try to keep my setup as vanilla as possible because the main reason I enjoy vim is its reliability.

And of course when I say reliability, I don't just mean from crashing. I mean from unnecessary work maintaining plugins and their infrastructure.

In that case it would 100% make it less stable. I respect the vanilla Vim folks but I could never do that.

Just curious, do you also keep bash/zsh vanilla as possible? I hate sshing into servers without my rc, which is a downside. But I also don't do much sysadmin stuff so it's not a very common issue.

I use bash, and yes it's pretty vanilla. I have a custom PS1 line with some added info but no colors, no multiple lines like a lot of people do.

I've been using Linux (or Unix) for 25 years and it works well for me. I can work in large projects with many files and directories. I never even heard of people automatically transferring their RC files to remote servers. That sounds quite convenient to be fair.

That's cool. I'll always respect the diehards who value their longer term priorities over short term benefit.
