#2I'm in no way affiliated with the project. I just thought it needed some more attention because it is awesome.

#3I've seen antigen before, thing is, zsh plugins, especially useful ones, are few and far between.
I have ~30 plugins installed with Vundle, and regularly add and play with new ones.
For zsh I have exactly two (syntax highlighting and one I'm forgetting at the moment) and I can't remember the last time I saw another that looked useful.

#4I would've thought that Antigen would've been more like Pathogen for vim. Apparently, I am behind the times.

The big difference as I see it is that the primary hassle with plugins in Vim, the fact that plugins normally all get dropped into a single directory and mixed around in such a way that they are nearly impossible to remove, doesn't really exist for zsh. You just source files wherever you happen to put them.
The features Vundle has that surpass Pathogen are also the features that I don't really consider that valuable.

Agreed (on your first point), that's definitely another reason I haven't considered using antigen.
The main feature Vundle has over pathogen for me is that I don't ever want to manage a git submodule when not forced.

Well I guess the intent is the same but it looks a lot more like Vundle (or Bundler). You just have to define the package name in a textfile (like with Bundler) instead of managing git submodules or downloading plugins another way into their own folder.

#10So the longterm goal of this would be to replace oh-my-zsh and it's host all plugins in one repository and hope robyrussel merges the change request?
Sounds pretty good if this works out I think. Are there any obvious downsides?
