I case you don't want to bother with plugins (I like to keep my
vim installs pretty native so I don't start leaning on things
that aren't baked-in across all the umpteen machines I use), you
can use
yy (yank the initial empty/blank line)
99p (paste it 99 more times to get places to put line#s)
:%s/^/\=line('.') (to put the current line# on each line)
> Alternatively, just use perl:

Or most *nix boxes have "seq" available:
:0r! seq 100
and optionally ":$d"/"Gdd" to delete the last/blank line
:)
