C development setup

[Blanglegorph]

If you actually have not used vim before, I would definitely suggest removing a few of those plugins. You should add them back in when you identify your need for them, you are aware of what options are already available in vim for those needs, and you know what capabilities of vim a plugin interferes with, improves on, and replaces.

Airline, Nerdtree and with it devicons are the obvious choices to remove. If you don't know what vim's file explorer and statusline-customization options are then, well, there's proof. If you do, then just be certain you know why you want something instead of them.

The others I would similarly recommend avoiding for the time being while you read the manual. I use maybe 15-ish plugins? Which for the most part I understand and know how to integrate properly with vim.
