TIL that vim 7 has the ability to work with tabs which is cool. Is there a way to tell vim through .vimrc that whenever I open multiple files, open them in tabs [instead of having to use -p always]
Hm, I think slightly better then the tabedit autocommand from Ingo is
:au VimEnter * set tabpagemax=9999|sil tab ball|set tabpagemax&vim
which at least avoids the empty tabpage being created.
