There was nothing particularly wrong with VAM which made me switch.
I changed other plugins as well. Having used both VAM and Vundle I
can conclude that both work fine for me. VAM has more features,
Vundle takes a more simplistic approach. One thing I like about
Vundle is how easy it is to add a plugin hosted on github. With VAM
I sometimes struggled to find the correct script name to provide for
the ActivateAddons call. But maybe that's just me.

Frankly speaking, no. I never used it.

I really appreciate the concerns to improve VAM. As I said there was
nothing wrong with it which made me switch.
