+Why is the Startify buffer not using buftype=nofile?~
 
-Put this in your vimrc:
+Did you accidentally use |:write| in the Startify buffer and it was saved to
+an actual file on disk? It's because buftype=nofile is not used.
+
+This is done to improve compatibility with other plugins. When buftype=nofile
+was set, plugins like CtrlP or NERDTree would open splits instead of reusing
+the window showing the Startify buffer.
+
+If you understand this but want it anyway, put this in your vimrc:
 >
-    autocmd User Startified setlocal buftype=
-<
-If you're using CtrlP without NERDTree, there is an even more elegant
-solution:
->
-    let g:ctrlp_reuse_window = 'startify'
+    autocmd User Startified setlocal buftype=nofile
