https://github.com/prakashdanish/vim-zen I just discovered this, which has one slight difference from vim-plug that's important to me, there's no plug#end(), which means I can do this:

" Color scheme stuff
Plugin 'morhetz/gruvbox'

set termguicolors
set background=light
colorscheme gruvbox

" Clojure setup
Plugin 'guns/vim-sexp'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-sexp-mappings-for-regular-people'

But anyway, I started looking at things, and I came across, https://github.com/tyru/caw.vim which looks great, which also linked to a fork of vim-repeat which fixes some stuff: https://github.com/kana/vim-repeat and also the commenting works in markdown files with correct context: https://github.com/Shougo/context_filetype.vim
