#2Interesting. I just recently started using Pathogen, and it is a great improvement, but I do agree that updating plugins is still a chore.
How well does Vundle work in Windows? And how does it organize the plugins?
Re: Sane Vim Plugin Management with Vundle
#3Updating your plugins (when using pathogen) is super-easy if they're stored in git somewhere.
Dir.glob("#{ENV['HOME']}/.vimbundles/*").each do |d|
next unless File.directory?(d)
puts "updating #{d}"
`cd #{d}; git pull --rebase; cd -`
end

#5Not arguing with his main points, but updating submodules for pathogen is easier than he says.
To update submodules do (in the "main dir" of the git repo):
git submodule foreach git pullRe: Sane Vim Plugin Management with Vundle
#6It baffles me how underdeveloped the git-submodule command is. I've never enjoyed that aspect of Vim bundle management, and this looks like a refreshing alternative.
Is submodule-based package management gone for good? I'm going to wait and see.
One thing is clear: the author understands the current Vim ecosystem and knows exactly what pain points still exist. He doesn't diminish how great Pathogen is but has come up with a way to make package management seamless, and for that reason, I'm going to give this a try.

#7I switched to using Vundle this morning (before seeing the article). It is an excellent way to manage VIM plugins.

That assumes that all the plugins are installed via Git, right?

It updates only those plugins that are installed as git submodules yes. Most recent bundles have git repos, but if they don't
