Of course, vim will now let you do that.
I hate to mention this, but this was possible long, long before vim
was around. It's called X Windows. Or any other windowing system.
Why would I want to learn commands specific to one program to open
windows inside that program?
A couple of people have mentioned this, but using X Windows to do the
job is totally not the same thing. There are distinct advantages that
come from having the same process working on multiple files at the same
time. I guess with reasonably sophisticated IPC mechanisms you could
accomplish the same thing with multiple vis in multiple xterms, but I've
never seen anyone demonstrate this.
