Simple sounds very appealing. Having installed just one plugin, by doing no more than: vim Desktop/CheckAttach-0.9.vba :so % I'm left wondering what practical need there might be for any kind of "plugin management system"? Given your advice that (paraphrased for my case) removal of the installed .vim/ftplugin/mail_CheckAttach.vim effects an uninstall, then that seems to be the other half of a working system. As for "all the files nice and tidy in their own directory", it seems that it all ends up in ~/.vim, so that requirement is satisfied without further ado, also, innit? If there are snags lurking in multiple plugins, then now seems a really good time to become aware of them.
