These kinds of plugins are not worth installing & configuring & learning in my humble opinion. Just type \e in the psql shell and voila, edit your sql in vim.

Just a little bit of UNIX knowledge saves you a load of unnecessary plugin installs.

To be clear; this is not some kind of premature optimization argument. I think plugin installs are ok as well as their memory & persistent storage requirements. What I worry about is the storage capacity of my brain.

I don't want to know about one more plugin unless it introduces a significant benefit on top of the already existing capabilities of the program in question.
