Maybe this is just me, but although Vim itself certainly is "packed full of features", I didn't find it complicated or hard to use when I was starting out (after I learned a few basic commands). I'm using Vundle right now. I had to do very little set-up to get it to work, and then just list the plugins I want to use in my .vimrc. My point is that I'm probably not even taking full advantage of what Vundle can do, and yet it's never been hard for me to use. I don't think featureful == hard to use. > Everybody has their own preference for how few or how many features they > want. That's why I believe efforts to get everybody to use one single wiki / > plugin manager / whatever are unrealistic. I think what really would make it hard to get everybody to use a single tool would be that there are several established ones now, and maybe most of their users would be uninterested in changing to something else. If, however, the developers of some of the popular or older (etc.) ones could join together in working on a single one, maybe their users would follow. (I would.) I don't think that just because we have different preferences for how many features we want, we need a different plugin manager (or whatever) for each Vim user.
