Not more urgent, but more precise. Actually I think it corresponds
to the 'updatetime', but that's just an assumption.

That's a harsh step to take. I would try to contact the maintainer
and ask about the status. He will tell you. If he does not, well,
that's an answer, too. There might be valid reasons for this. Maybe
he did not see the bug reports or he moved the active repo to a
different place or he was on holiday and will catch up with the
development soon, etc. You never know.

No. Once in a while (after reading some blog posts or getting bored)
I install a bunch of new plugins and macros. 90% of those I never
use. Every now and then I clean up my vimrc and remove all those
plugins of which I don't even know what they are supposed to do.
That's my way of discovering new functionality.

The last two plugins which I consider awesome and definitely improve
my productivity are 'vim-gitgutter' (the first thing I did was
telling the dev how great his plugin is, in form of a bug report,
which was fixed within no time BTW) and 'unicode'.

The plugin adds or improves the syntax highlighting. That's very
nice and pretty, but doesn't really improve the workflow.

Sorry, no suggestions for alternatives. Perhaps other users will
join the thread at this point.
