Don't you feel like you're pushing a square peg into a round hole? Or do you actually find yourself taking advantage of elisp in harmonious combination with Vim's editing UX?

I thought the same thing as you at first, as I was a vim+pathogen user. My workflow was working properly but to me it's just much simpler to do a SPC-f-e-d, add 'git' to my packages, then SPC-f-e-R and voila, git support is installed.

I'm sure I'll go back some day but for now Spacemacs is perfect for my use (i.e. writing small software, not large projects).

In my experience it's cleaner than default emacs editing experience, but it's not as clean as you can get in plain vim.
