No, you're not. I recently deleted all my Vim plugins from my .vim. The only ones I've occasionally missed are surround.vim and a commenting plugin.

Integrating tools to Vim is its Achilles heel. In particular, there's no reasonable debugger integration. And interaction with long running processes is difficult.

I use vim, cgdb and tig (for git) inside tmux. With cscope and ctags for code navigation, this gives me all the "IDE" features I need without any clumsy plugins.
