Vundle does exactly that - makes installs and updates easier. So you add: Bundle "rails.vim" to your .vimrc and then in vim you do :BundleInstall! and it updates all the bundles. The "!" suffix also updates plugins already installed. Also makes it easier to specify github sources. Instead of just rails.vim, you specify "tpope/rails.vim" and it'll get the repo from tpope's github repository.
