Vim-sensible is the first, and sometimes only, vim plugin I use. It is small, takes care of most of the stuff I had in my personal .vimrc file and works across all of the systems I am on. I used to just load up vim with tons of plugins until I realized I used about 5% total of everything I was loading in. These days it's vim-sensible,vim-go, syntastic and the base16 themes.

For me it's a matter of mental overhead. When I used to tweak every little setting and install a plugin for everything, it was so much work, for, and let us be realistic, very little gain in the long run. Now I usually run defaults with some bare essential tweaks that is obvious improvement on my "quality of life" - and if I cannot automate the setup it needs to be required or I'm not doing it - that is it.
