I've been using FuzzyFileFinderTextmate for a long time. I'm not sure it's still in active development, but it's worked just fine for me; is there a reason for me to switch to Command-T?

I also stick to buffers rather than tabs (for terminal/gui consistency) and use buftabs, which I quite like.

You should instead consider switching to the mainline FuzzyFinder instead of the FFTextmate fork. FuzzyFinder is undergoing lots of activity.

You can also try using tabs to represent views of several buffers at once -- for example, I use one tab per app when working on Django code. I have the views, models, templates etc. in split buffers inside one tab.

he's better off switching to command-t, FuzzyFinder is pretty limited in comparison

Care to elaborate?

I just glanced over the Command-T docs and it seems to be a one-trick-pony ("search in path") whereas FuzzyFinder supports a wide range of scopes (path, buffers, tags, etc.).
