Vim has very simple highlighting, and doesn't support symbol jump; that's why ctags is an external dependency for that behaviour.

As for a file finder, I'm curious how you can use a separate tab to open that in the current instance of Vim? From when I'd last used it, most folks were using Ctrl-P to solve that problem, and usually with an external indexer like fzf or ag.
