Re: Why Vimball archives are evil?

> > But no Windows users did say that (about themselves) yet, did they?

Hi, all.

I am a Windows user my self and I think that all Windows users that use Vim
already have things like Cygwin (I have it), MSYS, GNU tools for Windows, or
something like that. Just because a Vim user is someone that must be familiar
(or maybe not familiar but must have it) with tools like `ctags', `man pages',
`grep' and others. Maybe because of that there is no much complain about the
`vba.gz' or `tar.gz' format.

"The average Windows users doesn't even know Vim exists". That's for sure.
And even if he knows that Vim exists he does prefer to use Notepad++, ConText,
UltraEdit32, etc (too bad for them).

Regardless of plugins format, `vba', `tar.gz', `zip', `rar', etc, they are all
good. The most important thing is the installation instructions in the plugin
page. Also the configuration information and options in a separate file or
inside the script.
