I think your attitude is overly dismissive. At least, I'd have a hard time writing someone off as a "typical designer" (a bit of a tired stereotype) if they're experienced in both vim and emacs, let alone work for Peepcode. The author offered a sustained, reasoned argument for better navigation within projects. I agree that as a programmer, I care about functionality and tools that get out of my way so that I can get my work done quickly and efficiently. But I don't think that means that everything has to look ugly (or better - that it couldn't be more elegantly presented). I'm a Vim user, and rarely leave full-screen mode. It's a great app, but on large projects even with the Fuzzy File Finder plugin, I agree that navigating can be cumbersome. I'd like to try out Jamis Buck's "Fuzzy Finder Textmate" plugin that builds on this, but have had trouble getting it installed on both my desktop and laptop. tl/dr: The author knows what s/he's talking about, and things can be pretty and functional, too.

As far as I know, Fuzzy Finder Textmate only works with Fuzzy Finder up till version 2.16.

Look through the forks of fuzzyfinder_textmate on github - Jamis has stopped maintaining it to work with the latest FuzzyFinder, but other people are still working on their forks to keep it up to date.

  I've gone through this process a number of times on different computers so I imagine that others will find this quite useful. Thanks for writing it up! As an aside, I think you can just download the 2.16 version of fuzzyfinder from vim.org and it will work with Jamis' plugin. That's the version I use - love this plugin and I doubt I'd be able to use vim without it!
