Shortcut to open file in Vim

I recently fell in love with fuzzyfinder.vim ... :-)

:FuzzyFinderFile will let you open files by typing partial names or patterns.

What I normally do is e . (e-space-dot) which gives me a browsable current directory - then I can / - search for name fragments, just like finding a word in a text file. I find that generally good enough, simple and quick.
