    1. incremental collection of buffers
      - buffer information are collected in the background
      - less time requred showing lists

    2. grouping
      - it suppresses excessive information
      - it's easy to switch among groups
      - defined groups:
        - Directory groups corresponding to buffers
        - MRU(Most Recently Used buffers) group
        - Search group
        - [new] All buffers group

    3. ease of accessing buffers and groups
      - the MRU group can list buffers you are likely to edit
      - the group list supports you switching among groups
      - it's easy to switch to the Directory group in which
        the current buffer is

    4. [new] selectable UIs
      - "Fullfeatured" (default), SimpleGroup and Minimal
      - "SimpleGroup": one window, supports switching groups
      - "Minimal": one window, shows all buffers
