I ditched CtrlP for vim-fzf, on top of fzf and Ripgrep. They seem faster, produce better results, and handle interacting with source control better.

Most of my work is in PHP, and for that PHPactor has changed my life for the better. It provides the sort of refactoring tools that used to be solely the province of IDE's. It's one of the most useful Vim plugins I've ever seen.

vim-fzf is what works best for me. I tried Denite but it was too much configuration for things that works out of the box for vim-fzf. (File name search, in file search, buffer list,...)

I just tried denite but can't get it to work at all.
I've spent the last few years ignoring fzf but I've just updated a few scripts to optionally use it if it's installed and have to say it makes things look better.

I had it working, but it felt a little off for me
