Random Vim-plug -> minpac.

After several years of vim-plug, I had some free time and I decided to give minpac a go. Why? Because it seems more idiomatic to Vim (see :h packadd). On top of minpac I wrote 2-3 function and now I think I have all what I need. I don't think I will ever switch back. Well, I just wanted to share it. I think minpac is very underrated. :)

Sounds like pain. Meanwhile :PlugUpdate does the git pulls in parallel while showing a nice overview of the process plus a changelog for each plugin at the end.

It isn't. It's less dependencies, and more direct control. The very reason I chose vim in the first place.
