Vim annoyed me to no end when I started it.
Now I'm addicted to split screens.
And in the utter oddness, I love the modal editing.
I think the trouble is that people do not generally get a good introduction to vim. Most tutorials I came across suggested that I needed to use letter keys as arrows.
As for tabs, I do not really see the use. It doesn't matter what files I have open. By the end of a session I've typically opened so many files it does not matter. But with<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:e I can grab a file anywhere in my source tree with ease.
