One of the most important take-aways of this article: you do not need tons of plugins! I see this very often in motivated and bright developers who want to start using `vim`. They copy a humongous config file, install tons of plugins, and suddenly, something breaks or does not work as expected. In my opinion, it is much better to start from scratch. (besides, I have noticed a tendency in myself that is basically 'yak shaving for vim': the more plugins you have, the more you have to work on their configuration in order to make sure that they all work as expected...while this _feels_ very productive, it is actually the opposite of productivity)
