Also, disabling plugins is much easier... just comment the line... instead of delete the folder. That way, if im working through an issue that a plugin is causing, i can easily just toggle the plugin. Vim just loads whatever is in the folders, so i'd have to delete the folder, then readd it when i want it back... its less of a use case, but since i write vim plugins from time to time, its nice to be able to easily turn on/off my own plugins that may have bugs in them when i need to actually work...
