I disagree when you say things like NERDTree would be better as part of core, or as a bundled plug-in. I use my share of plug-ins and don't mind what anyone else uses really, but that plugin is a weird kind of halfway-house between a conventional editor and Vim. A lot of more eloquent people than me have written about it, but it comes down to the way it makes you think about windows and buffers and so on; it's like when people try to use Vim's tabs like the tabs in an IDE.
