Nope. I use a bare vim as well. Or should I say, the vim that is installed by my package manager. It includes a lot of plugins in the system runtime path but those are mainly file format and syntax plugins.
I used to use a really tricked out vim with crazy stuff like neocomplete and unite.vim. Then for a while I used plain old vi on FreeBSD (aka nvi). After switching back to arch linux I decided to use bare vim since nvi still has some annoying bugs.
So much of the stuff people write plugins to do can be done more easily and simply with macros and/or the ! or = commands.
