If you like Vundle, you'll love NeoBundle. It works like Vundle, but with more
possibilities. A lot more. Some examples from my .vimrc.
Can used like Vundle:
NeoBundle 'bling/vim-airline'
Airline is a pure vim-script alternative to powerline and thus is lightweight
and fast. Also an example why vim-script should not be dropped.
But Neobundle can do more than Vundle, much more....
Automatic compiling:
NeoBundle 'Shougo/vimproc', {
\ 'build' : {
\ 'windows' : 'make -f make_mingw32.mak',
\ 'cygwin' : 'make -f make_cygwin.mak',
\ 'mac' : 'make -f make_mac.mak',
\ 'unix' : 'make -f make_unix.mak',
\ },
\ }
Loading only on a specific command or filetype:
NeoBundleLazy 'thanthese/Tortoise-Typing', { 'autoload' : {
\ 'commands' : 'TortoiseTyping'
\ }}
NeoBundleLazy 'mattn/emmet-vim', {'autoload':
\ {'filetypes': ['html', 'xhttml', 'css', 'xml', 'xls',
'markdown']}}
Dependecy handling:
NeoBundleLazy 'xolox/vim-lua-ftplugin' , {
\ 'autoload' : {'filetypes' : 'lua'},
\ 'depends' : 'xolox/vim-misc',
\ }
You even can specify the revision if you don't want the latest revision of your
plugins. Read the documentation for all features.

You can have really a lot of plugins in your vimrc, but if they all are loaded
lazy your vim will be fast, because only the plugins you need are used.
Shougo's own vimrc is a nice example of how many you can have without a problem.

I never used VAM, sorry Marc. NeoBundle does everything I want.
