Caleb,

I like NERDTree too; I haven’t been using it lately, though. I installed MacVim with a GUI file browser, and I don’t find it nearly as useful as NERDTree. When I get a chance I’m going to go back to regular MacVim.

I don’t like having the file drawer turned on by default, though. I prefer to have more space for long lines or vertical splits, or nothing at all.
