What Hacker News says

4 sources
fuzzy-finder-textmate (http://github.com/jamis/fuzzyfinder_textmate) is a separate script from FuzzyFinder (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1984). FuzzyFinder was the driver. fuzzy-finder-textmate was the adapter that gave command-T to FuzzyFinder. FuzzyFinder works for things other than just files. It also works on tags, buffers, etc. Also, with updated versions of FuzzyFinder, you no longer need fuzzy-finder-textmate, just that line I posted above. That said, if all you want is command-T, yeah...FuzzyFinder might be overkill.
In Coming home to Vim
While this will probably not get read, I made the move from TextMate to Vim (well, MacVim) and the efficient movement between files was the one thing I really missed - until I got fuzzyfinder-textmate set up. http://github.com/jamis/fuzzyfinder_textmate Give it a go, it was first started by Jamis Buck and while the install can be a bit funky and is barely maintained, once you have it going it provides super efficient movement between files.
In Seven habits of effective text editing
I use http://github.com/jamis/fuzzyfinder_textmate which is an extension to the existing fuzzy finder vim plugin which tries to simulate textmate's fuzzy finder file opener (cmd T if you're on a mac). It's really quite awesome and I use it every single day, all the time, to open every file I work with. The downside is that you have to use an old version of the regular fuzzy finder gem because the guy who maintains that gem changed the api a bunch of times - to save you some trouble I believe the correct version of normal fuzzy finder (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1984) you have to use is 2.16.
