Why are people still using powerline when there's a pure Vimscript implementation? https://github.com/bling/vim-airline

Or even better, lightline? https://github.com/itchyny/lightline.vim

Why is it even better?

  Why yet another clone of powerline?
    vim-airline is a nice plugin, but it uses too much functions of other plugins, which should be done by users in .vimrc.

So it isn't strictly better just more standalone. I happen to use the other plugins already so I don't mind the dependency.

But I will try airline out. :)
