The beauty of vim, for me, is its adherence to the Unix Philosophy, which allows me to call external programs from within vim to accomplish something.
In this use-case, I can use doctoc CLI in any number of ways:
:! doctoc %
:TocGH/:TocGL/:TocBB commands and custom function that call the respective doctoc flags (which can subsequently be automatically called on BufWritePre event on markdown filetypes)
:make md-toc make target that calls doctoc .
or finally as a pre-commit git hook

Nice. I used to use that plugin.

Yea, you are right, I like that about vim. Another example of that composition I use every now and then is editing a file in binary form:
:%!xxdAnd then back:
::%!xxd -r
