It's because of comments like this that I've reserved my opinion about Vim script managers, of all things, for many years. There's no "right" or "wrong," I favor a tightly integrated editor setup where I own my plugins. Further, I don't believe that reaching for a plugin every time you have a problem to solve is the best or only way to extend your editor. My .vim probably has 10-30 third-party script collections, but "upgrade all vim scripts" isn't something I've ever wished to do at the same time. I prefer to upgrade plugins that I know to be active projects after reviewing the changelog, and I do this about once a year.

Is it so hard to relate to the desire simplicity and control in editor config? It's one place where I want to keep the cognitive overhead as low as possible: No forking git repositories to fix a bug in somebody's indent script that's not been maintained since 2007.
