Re: what is the advantage to use the vimball to get plugins?

vimball is part of the vim. You already have it installed. vba is a
simple format for smaller plugins that don't include binary files.

What could cause problems on windows is that most vimballs are
compressed with gzip, which windows doesn't support out of the box.
Since you suggest zip, I assume you're running windows. You could,
e.g., use 7zip to uncompress gz files -- or install some gzip port.
