The most underestimated vim's functionality that we should teach to beginners is vim session, allowing to save your session like any IDE !

Hey Yoann, how do you use vim sessions? And I don't mean like what commands you use or anything like that. More like, how you use vim sessions in your workflow?

I just use it simply, I have quickly a lot of tabs opened, so when I have to change the project on which I'm working or when I shutdown then I save the session at the root of the project. But it could be interesting to save it automatically, once I screwed and killed the vim process and I lost a dozen of open tabs and the workflow that went with it ^^'

Rarely, I work on more than one functionality at the same time, then I use and save 2 sessions in the same project.
