Ansible vs Pearl

This blog explains well how to use Ansible to configure Vim.
These are some of the many points in favor for using Pearl on this specific case (dotfile management):
- No easy way to include interactivity during installation
- YAML will become very tedious to maintain for more complex configurations
- No simple ways to use loops or
if
statements - The same configuration could be done in Pearl with way less lines
- Installation requires backup of any previous vim config
- Pearl allows to make append dotfiles from already existing ones thanks to the hooks mechanisms
- On the blog example the playbook must run in Fedora
- Pearl allow to make OS agnostic configurations that works on Linux and OSX
