pathogen.vim VS Jonot

• Ease of Use
  Pathogen.vim simplifies the management of Vim plugins by allowing users to easily install, update, and remove plugins without altering Vim's core files. It requires minimal configuration.
• Directory Structure
  It promotes a cleaner directory structure where each plugin resides in its own directory under .vim/bundle, making it easier to locate and manage individual plugins.
• Compatibility
  Being widely adopted and time-tested, pathogen.vim is compatible with a wide range of plugins. This ensures that users can confidently use popular Vim plugins alongside it.
• No Impact on Startup Time
  Pathogen.vim is lightweight, which means it doesn't significantly affect Vim's startup time, preserving Vim's reputation for speed and efficiency.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited Features
  Compared to modern plugin managers like vim-plug or Vundle, pathogen.vim offers limited features, lacking built-in update mechanisms for plugins or other advanced functionalities.
• Manual Management of Dependencies
  Pathogen.vim requires users to manually manage plugin dependencies and updates, which can become cumbersome when dealing with a large number of plugins.
• Exclusivity of Git for Installation
  Pathogen.vim relies heavily on Git for plugin installation, which might be a limitation for users who prefer or require alternative installation methods.

• Usage of 'after/ftplugin' directory for filetype-specific configuration
