One of the recent (and long due) "aha" moments I had with Vim, is understanding buffers.
I just couldn't get what it was, and was using tabs like any IDE.
Once I got the grasp of it, not only Vim became lighter and swifter to handle, I felt WAY more confident with understanding Vim's file managment, memory allocation and how copies are shared, handled, saved etc.
In this video I explain tabs, windows and buffers, how they relate and my preference of work, together with the plugin I use to handle it all.
