Interesting... I moved to vim a few months ago from TextMate and the two deal-breaker features I had to get working before I could reallly commit to using Vim was (a) finding files, which was initially NERDTree and FuzzyFinder (I have since pretty much just used NERDTree), and (b) was find-replace and global find and replace. I am happy with the existing tools but I do see that you could bring some users over by making it easier. Have you considered just making NERDTree native upon load based on a config setting? I just have to imagine that there have been years of improvement included in that component.... > Judging by Twitter and blog activity this group is > quite substantial (or maybe just vocal ;-) so I feel it is worthwhile > to cater to their wishes.
