I'd stick to lazy.nvim for now. Lazy loading is really neat and lazy.nvim's ability to specify plugin dependencies isn't something vim.pack has either.
I'd guess if you don't care about lazy loading and OK with just loading everything all the time - vim.pack is great to have as a built-in.
That's my impression too. However, I might give `vim.pack` a go for the novelty.
That being said, there is a way to lazy-load the plugins — Evgeni has a guide for that [1]. The "Load not during startup" variant is really simple with putting `vim.pack.add()` into `vim.schedule()`. The other myriad of options (keys, cmds, event) that lazy.nvim provides would require you to set up appropriate autocommands.
It gives me vibes of writing in Go. Everything is right there — builtin — but there's some verbosity to bear with.
