Sorry I didn't look at the links. My point was not that VAM or NeoBundle or anything else was better and should take over, but more that maybe we should rethink the way plugins are defined. Maybe it's high times plugins actually declare dependencies, where to be downloaded from, etc, so as to make it easier for any software manager to handle them. I see that as a way to have a consistent distribution of plugins whether you like to download them with VAM, or with apt-get, because there would be a unified and well though format and repository for storing them (or their meta data).
Oh, and I've been a loyal VAM user for a few years. I'm quite happy with what it does for me, which doesn't mean we shouldn't improve the design of vim plugins. P!
