    Author of the PZ plugin manager here - I used zgen for a long time and it was always super fast, but the author seems to have totally disappeared. Zinit was fast, but complicated as you mentioned. I used antibody for awhile, but the author deprecated it. I switched to Znap but it was unstable at the time and not super fast.
