- +It is particularly useful for customizing Vim for specific tasks like code editing, syntax highlighting, or integrating with external tools, making it ideal for power users and those in development environments where efficiency is key
- +Related to: vim, neovim
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Pathogen
Developers should learn Pathogen when using Vim for coding, especially if they rely on multiple plugins for tasks like syntax highlighting, autocompletion, or version control integration
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in environments where plugin management becomes cumbersome, as it streamlines setup and maintenance, reducing conflicts and improving productivity
- +Related to: vim, neovim
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Vim Plug if: You want it is particularly useful for customizing vim for specific tasks like code editing, syntax highlighting, or integrating with external tools, making it ideal for power users and those in development environments where efficiency is key and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Pathogen if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in environments where plugin management becomes cumbersome, as it streamlines setup and maintenance, reducing conflicts and improving productivity over what Vim Plug offers.
