I use one to store my Neovim config. Since I manage my plugins with vim-plugged I only need one file.

That's clever. I don't use Neovim but I can see how that could be used for other tools where it is a pain setting up all the plugins you're used to.

Before I migrated from Vim to Neovim I was using Pathogen for my plugins. I kept all the files in a Git repository and installed the plugins as Git submodules, which was cumbersome. This approach is a lot more elegant and easier to update.
