VAM was designed to go out of your way. This means if a plugin doesn't
work its a bug. You should either create a ticket or contact me so that
we can find a fix (by mail or irc).
This may result in plugin patches though - cause not all plugins like
being installed into a directory separate from ~/.vim.
VAM's documentation contains a section comparing it to Pathogen.
The reason why I recommend VAM over Pathogen is its "dependency
resolving" feature even if its a quick and dirty - it'll help the Vim
community to reuse code which in turn will result in more reviews ...
The second major feature is its community managed "plugin pool" which
allows you to install plugins by name.
The plugin pool also allows us to tag plugins as being superseded by
other ones. Eg if upstream has changed you'll get an additional
confirmation question before the plugin is installed telling you about
which plugin we'd prefer.
IMHO you should be using a management system. My choice is VAM - but I'm
definitely biased :)
