Vi-ish Vim Configuration

Learning anything but pure vi first will become a liability when you want to be productive on a remote computer that doesn't have your precious configurations. If you are never using another computer for anything you might want to look at emacs instead, but you still have to learn vi if you want to learn an editor that actually follows the [UNIX philosophy](https://duck.com/lite?kd=-1&kp=-1&q=UNIX philosophy) (emacs sure the fuck doesn't). By the way, don't abandon vi until you have at least learned the magic that makes vi objectively superior to every other editor on the planet. Most who leave or criticize it never even learn the most powerful aspect of it: full shell integration.

Why not use Vim 8 native plugins?

Because they suck. They require everything be the .vim/pack directory and there is no mechanism for pulling down the plugins from git hosting.
