It is true Vim requires commitment but once you get it, the motions and key combination are logical.

As others have mentioned for fuzzy finding, use CtrlP. I also use FuzzyFinder for quickly switching between many open files (buffers).



No need to have two plugins that do the same thing, CtrlP does buffer switching too.

While we are at it…

I never really used TagList or equivalent widgets in other IDEs/editors as an outline of my code but rather as a navigation tool. :CtrlPBufferTag is great for moving around in a large file. Same thing with :CtrlPTag for navigating a project. I love CtrlP.

If the "you" is me you don't need to convince me at all: I'm a diehard Vimmer.
