    Vim is good at editing a single file at a time

    vim has tabs and you can have a tab with multiple panes on it. Each pane can be a unique file. With vim and tmux combined you can have maaaany files open in vim at once until the machine reboots. You can cut and paste easily between any files you have open in the same vim instance.

    with tmux in the stack you can disconnect from a remote machine, come back later and restart your session and all of your files are still open in place on the remote server, in one program.
