I do hope you don't do this on production servers!

  Who develops on production servers?

    Not everyone is a developer. Still have application and system admins, especially where segregation of duties exists due to security requirements

      Non-developers need to change the state of machines on occasion, yes. You're saying there's something about using dotfiles and vim plugins which are inherently less safe than using other open source and proprietary software? Why? (If it's the plug-ins you're worried about there's nothing to stop you forking a version you're happy with; copying to your own corporate repo etc).

    > not having to install and setup additional tools is good, especially when you are using lots of different machines the person you initially responded to was likely referring to ssh connections to servers
