Hmm, that sounds very similar to the window we have open at pressing
'B' (apart from missing shorcuts to navigate it), but i am not really happy with it.
I am even thinking about removing it, and just listing :buffers the way
vim does with a multiline widget. I didn't do it yet, because i received
the 'B' code as a patch, and it's always hard to remove code, others
have contributed :( (Maybe I'll just leave it as :buffers!)

Also after reading buffer explorers help text, it doesn't seem that
helps to navigate more quickly than using vim's (and vimperator's) own
:b <tab> mechanism. If we were talking about real fast tab switching,
then either numbered tabs or the hit-a-hint thing would help to switch
to any buffer in maximum 3 keystrokes.
