       | This so much. There are amazing plugins out there, but for almost
       | everything I really need, they are overkill. vim comes with so
       | many things included out-of-the-box (just look at netrw), and for
       | the few things I need on top of that, ahcking together a small
       | function bound to a <leader>Key combo which calls an external
       | script is usually enough.
