Vimtex not loading (vim-plug)
Did you really install VimTeX? Did you run :PlugInstall? Ensure you installed and set up vim-plug correctly (https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug). If VimTeX is installed, it should be installed to '~/.vim/plugged', thus you can open a terminal, then cd ~/.vim/plugged/vimtex and you should find the files there.

Vundle.vim does not exist anymore
Not sure if Vundle did anything particularly fancy, but I'm using vim-plug [0] and have no complaints. It stays out of my way to the point that I had to look at my .vimrc just now to make sure that's what I was using.

The Vundle github repo seems to have disappeared
I chose to move on to vim-plug and can report it was a simple switch from Vundle.
