For instance, I start making changes to a file, then I need to take
a quick look at another file before I commit the changes.. so, I'll do
':e file2'.. take a peek and then either ':q file2'.. or CTRL-O.. etc.
and get back to the file I was editing.. I 'nohidden' is set, Vim will
complain. I prefer this strategy to ':vne file2' especially when
I already have several sub-windows in the current tab. One use-case
among many, I guess.. No wonder I end up with tons of files in my buffer
list..!
You could probably set it to 'nohidden' and see if/how it impacts your
workflow?
