The Emacs package list has a description field on the right, a shortcut for more info (?) and after it's installed you've got C-h m and often info pages (C-h i). What's wrong with that? Vim has no unified plugin structure, there are several plugin manager packages (often installed via git clone). I personally use vim-plug[i] which is more on the minimal side, but there are others like pathogen or vundle. No real centralized plugin repository like melpa, I don't think one of the plugin managers I've used had some kind of common install-screen. You mostly enter the github address and execute the package update vimscript. I've seen more Emacs info packages than :help docs, but in most cases I'm browsing the githup README.md/.org anyways.
