All these recent posts about peoples' "light" vim configs and they're complex as hell. There is some advantage to installing pathogen, airline, and just leaving it. Notably, defaults take like three lines of vimrc and you don't have to make a blog post to remind yourself how to decipher it six months later. Ironically, all the things this guy decries as "noise" I find fairly useful. There are parts I don't use, but selectively ignoring them is much easier than adding even more lines to my two-page vimrc which is already bigger than I'd like. Sometimes simple is more clever than complex.
