That's just silly.  I frequently open two panes on the same file.  Lets
compare:

Your way:
	- click to open a new terminal
	- click on it because it's not where I want, move it
	- cd to where ever I am
	- vi whatever

You are welcome to your opinion but to argue that multiple panes in
vi aren't useful, fine, maybe not to you.  Don't use them.  Other
people love that feature, that feature is why I tried emacs many
years ago.
