Plugin managers are also nice because you can maintain a list of plugins right in your vimrc. Not the biggest win in the world if you are fine managing your plugins via a shell script, but it's a win to many. My favourite thing about vim-plug is its `:PlugDiff` command which, after running `:PlugUpdate` will load all the new commits in an explorable vim buffer, so you can see exactly what changed and even easily see code changes.
