Neither are abandoned, I think both projects are in a relatively stable state. Both projects also have the same basic functionality but different priorities. z aims to be dependency free and simplistic while autojump requires Python 2.6+ but has a bit more features: - fuzzy matching (corrects for spelling errors) - sectional path matching helps differentiate between the same directory name in multiple locations: -- `j var nginx` or `j etc nginx` is enough to differentiate between `/var/log/nginx` and `/etc/nginx` -- combined with fuzzy matching results in shorthand jumps: `j v ng` or `j e ng` - `jc` searches only children directories of current path - opens up a native file browser with `jo <args>` or `jco <args>` - manual control of path weights: Both z and autojump use frequency and recency to suggest paths, but sometimes I want this newly created nginx path to always win without waiting for the algorithm to learn - better tab completion - more shells supported (fish, experimental tcsh and clink support) Disclaimer: I'm the current maintainer of autojump.
