I don't know why people keep bringing this up. It's (a) not even clear that it is true, and (b) even if it is true, it strikes me as completely irrelevant to the question of where to host vim. Who cares where the plugins are? Is one's day going to be made more difficult because one had to type in a non-github URL to go fetch a plugin? It's not as if there need to be PRs between a plugin repo and the Vim repo.

I don't know why people keep saying "the majority of vim users prefer git/github". This has in no way been established. The "poll" this thread created shouldn't be assumed to be a representative sample; it gets self-selected respondants, particularly of two types: people who *really* get excited about git/github, and curmudgeons who don't feel like changing without a compelling reason. For all we know, the github-preferrers are merely a loud minority. For all we know, the curmudgeons are a loud minority. People need to stop taking it for granted that we know the majority of Vim users who clone repos want Vim to go to github. -Manny -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
