interesting how things change. i started out downloading scripts from vim.org before the github days. finally after 10years I got fed up and looked for a plugin manager. moved to packer.
a couple of years later, that went dead so I was forced to move again. now I'm on lazy.nvim which works well for me.
nvim decided to ship a default plugin manager. im dreading the day I have to migrate to that... (not cause it's better/worse, but cause migrating is a pain)
im never going back to ad supported algorithmic brainwashing. decentralized open source, or nothing for me
