Indeed, vim-plug seems a very nice plugin manager, but it is in no way "more minimalist" than pathogen. How could one be?

Pathogen doesn't manage your plugins. You have to `git clone` (or submodule) and update them yourself.

It doesn't do those two things, but I don't think that's a compelling argument for why it doesn't manage plugins. I certainly use it to manage my plugins.
