That's a community based plugin, Vim is still focused on text editing and not much else.

Most of the functionality on the editors like vim and emacs comes from community based plugins. People would mostly not use them if there were no such expansions.

This baseless assertion is simply wrong. Plugins are nice to have, but the bulk of their use is to customize default installs.
