For me, :split only makes 2 windows, not a window for every buffer.

# vim -o <file1> <file2> ..

If you are already inside vim, you can either manually run ":split <file1>", ":split <file2>" .. OR

    :bufdo split (Close those you do not want)

One nice tip here is that, once you place your buffers in vim to your taste, you can run the command:

    :mksession <session-file>

..to save those windows placement. Later run

    :source <session-file>

..to restore the view. That is a huge time saver sometimes.

I looked up :h tab and found stuff seemingly unrelated. How does one
open a tab?

Either use:

    $ vim -p <file1> <file2> ..

..or inside vime:

    :tabe <file1>

:help tabedit
