I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
Which plugin manager should I be using today in 2017?

I've used Pathogen, Vundle, and vim-plug. The latter seems the simplest, but they all pretty much work the same. It's nice not to have to deal with submodules (assuming you check your dotfiles into git), though.

Cool thanks for that. I've been using vim forever now, but haven't ever bothered or messed around with plugins before. I dunno why, but it probably has something to do with my vimrc being a confusing mess from all the random poo poo I've taken from various other vimrc files that I don't really understand.

Anyway I just compiled neovim to give it a shot and downloaded vim-plug with it. Figured I had nothing to lose especially since neovim uses a different vimrc by default. Anyway vim-plug is pretty awesome. I can't believe I've been doing all this poo poo like managing color schemes and dropping poo poo into ~/.vim/whatever manually for so long.

I can't get youcompleteme to work though. I installed it with vim-plug just by adding the "Plug /repo/link" line to my vimrc file and installed it, it says youcompleteme is installed, but I don't get any autocompletion. I've only tried python files as that's all I have available right now but it just doesn't work. Nothing pops up with suggestions like the gif shows on their git repo. Their git repo also has an entire treatise on installing it but I thought all I had to do with add the line to my vimrc if I'm using vim-plug. It's not really clear but I must be missing something since it's not working.

e: CtrlP is great. I've been using http://vimawesome.com/ to look for plugins. Are there any actual "plugin review websites" out there? I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't since I imagine the audience isn't that big but I figured I'd ask.

Did you go into the YCM checkout and compile it? That's also something you can set up as a post-pull hook for vim-plug.

Nope I didn't do that. I thought vim plug would do it all for me.

Apparently the vim plug website says to append a dictionary thing after the youcompleteme plugin. I did that and now it's working.

My arrow keys are Fn+HJKL so lol

I bought a 60% as well and it is the most terrible thing I've ever typed on.

Nothing to do with vim but it's just so awkward.
