Dein.vim is a fast, asynchronous plugin manager for Vim and Neovim written in Vim Script. It supports local and remote plugin sources with a simple function-based API, though active development has stopped in favor of dpp.vim.
Use cases
- manage vim plugins
- install neovim plugins asynchronously
- speed up vim plugin loading
- manage plugins from non-github sources
- replace vim-plug or vundle
- lazy-load vim plugins
When to choose
- you use Vim 8.2+ or Neovim and want a fast, async plugin manager
- you need to manage plugins from local or non-GitHub sources
- you want a function-API-based manager without commands
When to avoid
- you want actively developed software - the author recommends dpp.vim instead
- you prefer a simple command-based UI like vim-plug
- you only need basic plugin management with minimal configuration
