Not having used Pathogen, I don't know how to work installation using
it.
Pathogen creates a new directory "bundle/" underneath your .vim/
directory. You then place the entire directory structure for a plugin in
a subdirectory of bundle. For example:
.vim/
bundle/
pluginFoo/
plugin/
autoload/
syntax/
doc/
pluginBar/
plugin/
autoload/
doc/
The point is to prevent files from multiple plugins from being mixed
together in the standard directory structure. This makes them much
easier to upgrade or remove in the future.
I agree that pathogen makes plugins easier to remove if the plugin is
not in vimball format. With vimball format, its simply :RmVimball
pluginname , so the two methods are about equally easy to use as regards
plugin removal.
Insofar as upgrading a plugin is concerned; well, a plugin not using
pathogen would likely just overwrite its previous component(s), so
upgrading isn't likely to be easier (the only exception I see is where a
component is removed).
IMHO, of course,
