I've recently uninstalled NERDTree in favor of netrw and I've been presently surprised at how little I miss NERDTree and how much more productive I am on default vim installations.


I used NERDTree when I was starting Vim, but uninstalling and hating it were essential steps towards Vim nirvana.

Because then I found out about ctrlp.vim and :E, two things that makes NERDTree completely useless to me.


Was NERDTree making you unproductive? How?


It's not that NERDTree makes one unproductive. It's that using NetRW on default vim installations allows you to get going without installing NERDTree.
