Hm.. maybe I need to take another look at netrw. Last time I played with it, the big thing that led me to prefer NERDTree was the difficulty in opening a file you navigated to in the pane to the right. It kept replacing the netrw pane.

As always, the answer is in the documentation (:help netrw):

You can configure this with g:netrw_browse_split. Setting it to 4 will open the file in the previous window.

See :help netrw_browse_split for other options.
