I agree with a lot of your conclusions, but I think there is a lot of value to be found from nerdtree if you use it correctly. I'm a super heavy Command-T user

I'm a super heavy Command-T user as well, but when you are working on a sufficiently large project there is just a lot of value you can gain from being able to see the file tree.
Nerdtree is also my favorite way to rename/move/copy files
- orthecreedence 13y agoI also like nerdtree when I'm browsing a codebase I'm not familiar with. It's a really nice, easy way to drill down into subfolders without having to do `:e ab[tab]d[tab] ...` It makes exploring the unfamiliar a lot easier, especially in larger projects, as you mentioned.
- doctoboggan 13y agoI have not heard a good argument to why I should use nerdtree over the built in netrw. Do you have one? Honest question.
- gaoshan 13y agoI used NerdTree but for those on a Mac there is a pretty interesting Macvim fork (Alloy)[https://github.com/alloy/macvim https://github.com/alloy/macvim] that implements a native sidebar. (Here is a good post)[http://faculty.washington.edu/ivanoats/blog/2012/01/13/making-macvim-pretty/ http://faculty.washington.edu/ivanoats/blog/2012/01/13/makin...] someone wrote about it.
