Re: Why Vimball archives are evil?

It is not easily extractable on Windows, if you don't have any extra
archiver installed. And this is not always possible to install them. So
I release my plugins as .vba.

Plus, anybody that is not familiar with vim, might not know where to
extract these archives. Vimball takes care of that for you.

I would even ask, what's wrong with .vba?

Christian
