Yeah, but I adopted quite a few from those packages. I see packages from
those with 2/9/15/17/27/62 votes too. I didn't follow really who voted or
who didn't.
But I can see one thing, embedded development and related packages are
needed by some people, I started to deal with those packages because of
this, and because I use those ones too.

Not so much work, but sometimes it can be hard. I've seen already that It
changed after an updating from a simple script plugin, file to a more
complicated package, with other handling, e.g. vimballed and sometimes the
new update is buggy firstly.
But the real reason is I'd like provide embedded development related
packages more than vim packages.
