You cannot (or could not) include binary files like images. In past discussions I once got the impression that the criticism of vimballs wasn't so much about vimballs but about the fact that many vimballs are distributed gz-compressed, which windows users cannot deal with without the installation of an additional app. I personally too prefer github repositories though. There are several plugins that make life with plugins distributed this way easier: the aforementioned pathogen, vimpluginloader by ZyX (that AFAIK integrates with Marc's vim-addon-manager), (shameless plug) my own tplugin, and maybe others.
