pathogen
- StavrosK 14y agoVundle's better.
- cduser 14y agoYeah, all I need is a vimrc when I have vundle. I sync it using Dropbox and run BundleInstall on any of my new computers and I'm good to go with all the plugins.
- darklajid 14y agoNot sure why you've been downvoted. I agree with your vundle suggestion. I migrated from pathogen to vundle and would recommend that people using the former check out vundle again. Even if it's from the 'wrong author' (aka not from tpope).
- StavrosK 14y agoThe only difference I'm aware of (I haven't looked into it much) is that Vundle downloads plugins too, rather than just install them, but it's a pretty big difference when you're looking for a plugin manager.
- wahnfrieden 14y agoIt's huge because it lets me manage my plugins in source control much more easily than juggling submodules in git or whatnot. Instead I just have my plugins as lines in my vimrc.
- ch0wn 14y ago> Not sure why you've been downvoted. Just stating "X is better" without giving any reason is not particularly helpful.
- darklajid 14y agoAgreed, but he replied to a single word comment (=> worse)
- ibotty 14y agobut this single word was a very valid reply to the parents question. without needing any explanation.
- slurgfest 14y agopathogen requires you to roll your own submodule thingy. This is certainly feasible if you know git well, but vundle is still easier
- johncoltrane 14y agoNot sure where you got that idea: I use pathogen without involving Git at all.
- ibotty 14y agoit does when you want to have your vim configuration in git. and vundle might be easier then (not, that using git submodules is so extremly hard).
- slurgfest 14y agoOK, then you have some kind of shell script to do the downloads, or you do them all manually each time. These are not better alternatives
- johncoltrane 14y agoMy ~/.vim is under version control (Git) but not every plugin is available through Git. Some plugin developers use Mercurial, others use Subversion or whatever and most only provide a .tar, a .zip, a vimball or even a single vim script. This Git myopia is seriously getting on my nerve.
- jlgreco 14y agoDoes Vundle allow you to just unzip plugins that aren't hosted anywhere into their own subdirectory somewhere inside your ~/.vim/ like Pathogen does? This isn't clear from it's webpage.
