Poll: What's good about plugin managers?

At some point Vim started supporting plugins. At that time it was fine
to add a plugin manually, it was a one-time thing. But now that there
are so many plugins and they get updated often, manually updating
plugins has become tedious.

I am wondering what Vim users like about plugin managers.
Is there one that works best, that everybody should use?
Are there still features that no existing plugin manager offers?

Vundle appears to be popular, someone mentioned it's better than
Pathogen. So nobody is using Pathogen?

But then there is also NeoBundle. But not everybody has git installed
and it depends on that.

And there also is vim-addon-manager. And Vimball.

Is it fine to have a choice of plugin managers, or is this causing a
headache (for users and/or for plugin writers). If yes, then we should
pick one plugin manager and retire the others.
