Perhaps. But since it's not main-lined into the actual application, it's no big deal. If people want to "pimp" their Vim with airline, and any other odd nonsense, that's fine. If they want to include an entire nodejs process to provide auto-complete, that's fine too. I'm simply saying that the fact that it was originally conceived as a lightweight text editor, doesn't mean that people should be shamed for making it so much more. I personally have found Vim to be my favorite tool, and nearly EVERY attempt at other IDEs to emulate it, I've found lacking. So, I choose to extend Vim.
