Oh come off it! I hate this kind of elitist bull crap. Don't like editor putting something into buffer, do you? Do you have set ai in your vimrc? 3 guesses to what that does. How about set et? 'consent' you say? How is explicitly installing a plugin not expression of consent?
And as for your dismissive jibe about 'just imap' - auto-pairs is a bit more nuanced than that. For example it handles pairing quotes as well. Let's see your quick dismissive solution for that which handles closing quotes as well.
Why am I so angry? Well, because there are so many of these 'gurus' who go around being dismissive of other peoples preferences as tho their's is the only one true way. The comment could easily just have been, "I like to be explicit about entering my parentheses and even if I wasn't here's how I'd do it without a plugin ", instead of all that consent nonsense.
