Some things:

- You can specify plugins dependencies, instead of having everything in a big list.

- You can separate each plugin setup/configuration into separate files.

- It tracks plugin versions in a lock file that you can commit into git. Makes it easy to identify plugins that breaks and lets you pin it to a known good version.

- Nicer UI to install and update plugins, including a git log for each plugin.

- Lazy loading of plugins. Not critical, but it does make a difference if you have a few slow plugins that you need occasionally or just a lot of plugins.

- Profile plugin startup times in a nice way.
