Gvim allows the window to be split vertically. This allows me to view
different files (or two places in the same file) at the same time. It's
useful in coordinating programs. For example, you could have the
variables in one side (which are frequency at the top of the file) and
the subroutines in another. For languages like C, there is often two
files, file_n.h and file_n.c that have to agree.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
