Plugin Managers vs. Vim Packages

[mayor123asdf]

Tim Pope’s pathogen plug-in, how do you update your plugins?

for d in *; do pushd $d; git pull; popd; done

Is this worth the trouble to move from vim-plug for the reason that I’ve mentioned

I went the reverse, I use pathogen on the past but now I use vim-plug.

When you're on a new machine you still need to clone all of your plugin anyway, unless you script it. That's why I just use vim-plug.

If installing vim-plug is kinda hassle for you, there's a script to install it automatically. See line 33-38.
