I work with vim exclusively in a set of xterms, so the latter isn't a problem for me (there are vim themes for these situations, I think active window highlight is controllable). I don't run into the 10 open file problem because I usually have 3-5 xterms running vim at the same time. I can do this because I use a weird window manager (wmi) and have developed a layout/setup that allows me to flip between about a dozen windows in the same amount of time and cognitive load that an alt+tab takes in any other window manager I've tried.
