I'm in the camp where too many plugins (while nice for particular languages) is a crutch. I'd like to still be able to use it when my plugins aren't present on remote machines. It's part of the reason why I had, a one point, used the easy-motion plugin, but dropped it. Does it make things more cumbersome? A tad, but it forced me to build up a better workflow around it. I'm also wondering when the last time you've used Vim was, because async plugin execution is now a thing, but I switched to NeoVim a while back it's fast.
