David,

I also use separate tabs for different projects and I know others who work like this. Maybe this is because I used earlier IDE's to code and later I switched to vim. Before using tabs in vim I used different gnu screen windows for each project but it was less convenient. I would be nice to have such possibility to show buffers which were opened in the tab built into vim natively. I wonder also how other developers use vim when they work with many projects.


Thanks,

Marcin
