submodules downloaded before installation plan is defined

[p7k]

without looking too much into the rakefile and the logic.
is it absolutely necessary to pull in all the requirements first and later ask whether to install/use yadr aspects [vim, git, etc.]?

[skwp]

well, the core of yadr is its vim plugins. I didn't write the installer but I kind of think not installing the vim part is kind of silly, so maybe we should even take that out. so not sure what to do on that front. the idea was to be opinionated and provide a cohesive toolset. I can only think maybe some people may not want to switch shells, but I think everyone should be using the vim stuff

[p7k]

refactor to pull externals per selected facet after asking for user input. i appreciate the faceted style. don't force anything.

[skwp]

yeah that's cool but like i said the externals are only vim related. if you don't want the vim stuff, don't use this project :)

[skwp]

but i would appreciate any and all pull requests that improve on the installer. it's not really my baby to begin with (it was implemented by @kylewest), but I guess I should really sit down and review it again

[kylewest]

this makes sense, but I'm not sure it's worthwhile. I could wait to do git submodule update --init until after you say you want to install vim, but that may backfire if a submodule is ever used for something else. I agree with @skyp, I'm not sure anyone would use the project without using the vim facet of it.
