It is funny, I use vim pretty much everyday for a decade. I install vim, I use "write", "close", "quit". I semi pretty vimrc file with line numbers and syntax highlighting.

I am still not very good at opening multiple buffers, I just close vim and open the other file.

But that is about it. I felt I have doing it wrong. But I can get work done and it is easier everytime I install a new server.
