Plugins are not being loaded after restarting MacVim

See full .gvimrc file here: https://gist.github.com/chrismcbride/ae688ba1b7d899432a09144933069062

When running :PlugInstall, all the plugins seem to work fine, but after quitting MacVim and relaunching it vimi can't find NERDtree, ctrlp, or vim airline commands. Running a :PlugStatus shows that all the plugins are ok, however I need to run :PlugInstall every time I launch for those plugins to work. I tried using Vundle too and I weirdly get the identical problem there. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this happening before.

What happens if you remove https://gist.github.com/chrismcbride/ae688ba1b7d899432a09144933069062#file-gvimrc-L28-L30?

[chrismcbride]

same behavior sadly

You should place the plug section in your .vimrc, not in .gvimrc.

See #540 for details.
