I've recently started to really appreciate the power of VIM. Once you learn how to use it, coding and editing go a lot quicker. My main holdup is that I can't open a directory like a project in VIM, which BBEdit (Mac) does so wonderfully. Are there any plugins or extensions that can make VIM do this?
BBEdit's functionality
This is a pane displayed to the left of the file editor. You can easily switch back and forth between open documents and you don't have to save them to switch. An ASCII Art example of what the editor window looks like is
************************************************
* Project ** *
*---------** *
* File ** *
* File2 ** *
* Dir ** *
* |- File** *
