I use this feature in emacs all the time. Turn on the iswitchb feature
and then control-x b will show you a list of MRU files. If you just hit
enter at this point it switches to your last used file. If you start
typing the name of a file it will autocomplete to the best match, hit
enter, and it opens that one. I often go into a source dir and say:
% emacs *.py
and it opens all of the python source files in my project into buffers.

Emacs has sophisticated buffer management which work great for this.
Looks like a winner!
Thanks to Stewart for vim ideas but this looks more spot on. Although
a Google for "vim mru" does reveal a plugin for doing this.
But I wasn't being totally honest. All I want in life is an MRU file
list in a modeless text editor. ;-)
